Stay ahead of the game with Agile project management

Agile Project Management is being rapidly adopted by large enterprises as the preferred approach to a whole range of projects.

Based on the well-known DSDM Atern methodology, it shows how to deliver Agile Projects while providing the sort of visibility and discipline that many large organisations require. However, it doesn't sacrifice the fast pace and flexibility that Agile is known for.

The Project Laneways Agile PM Foundation course is a three day event and covers all you need to know to run an Agile PM project. It also includes a detailed introduction to Scrum. The Agile PM Practitioner training course is held over one day and will probe the detail learnt in the Foundation and challenge your understanding. This leads to a more advanced qualification and greater confidence in your ability to put the methodology into practice. We recommend that candidates consider doing the Foundation and Practitioner courses back to back. Both courses are 100% Money-Back Guaranteed!
