About the course
Our instructor-led Agile Project Management Training Course is aimed at anyone coming into Agile from a background such as Prince 2 or ITIL, who needs to understand the business drivers, benefits, processes, and implications of moving to an Agile methodology - and then actually doing it.
This Agile course is designed to lay bare the jargon, dispel the myths, and inspire you and your team to embrace methodologies such as Scrum and Kanban, in order to work in harmony with Agile software development teams - whether in-house or out-sourced / off-shore development teams.
Our Agile training includes a variety of interactive exercises to bring relevance to the theory and keep you on your toes.
Online and in-house face-to-face options are available - as part of a wider customised training programme, or as a standalone workshop, on-site at your offices or at one of many flexible meeting spaces in the UK and around the World.
