Agile Academy CEO with over 10 years of experience in agile trainingsMany people claim that agile and project management cannot be reconciled. Agility refers to product development and projects are a relic from the 20th century... at least that's what they often say.
We have a different view: The agile principles of customer centricity, decentralization of decisions, focus through prioritization, flow efficiency and also agile leadership can be wonderfully applied in the context of projects and are therefore also helpful for project managers.
Here's what you'll get in this course:
- Learn what agile project management is all about
- Understand agile practices and fundamentals in project management
- Lead agile teams to high performance
Word class teams improve & learn with our online courses:
Sohrab is by far the best coach we have seen. He has both energy and great content. His course on agile project management is a great start for anyone looking to begin their agile journey.
