Agile Project Management Certification V3 (AgilePM®)
The APMG International Accredited Agile Project Management Certifications V3 (AgilePM®) aim to address the needs of those working in a project-focused environment who want to be Agile.
The AgilePM Agile Project Management guidance is developed in partnership with the Agile Business Consortium and offers a practical and repeatable methodology that achieves an ideal balance between the standards, rigour and visibility required for good project management, and the fast pace, change and empowerment provided by Agile Scrum.
The focus of Agile Project Management is on developing solutions incrementally enabling project teams to react effectively to changing requirements, whilst empowering project personnel and encouraging increased collaboration and ownership.
Agile project management is an iterative approach to managing projects that emphasises flexibility, collaboration, and delivering value through continuous improvement.
It focuses on responding to change rather than following a rigid plan, and encourages regular feedback loops, close collaboration with stakeholders, and adaptability to evolving requirements.
In Agile project management, work is divided into smaller, manageable chunks, often referred to as sprints or iterations, with each delivering incremental value. This allows teams to continuously assess and adjust their approach, ensuring that the project stays aligned with customer needs and business goals.
The core principles of Agile include transparency, communication, collaboration, and delivering high-quality products quickly. This methodology is especially suited for projects with dynamic requirements or where the end goals may evolve over time.
