Agile practices continue to be highly influential and invaluable, particularly in the world of Project Management. Increasing numbers of organizations and project professionals are embracing Agile tools and frameworks as they aim to increase the success of – and return on investment from – projects and other change initiatives.
AgilePM is the leading framework and certification for agile project management.
Being developed by senior leaders from major organisations, such as British Airways, IBM and Oracle, gives AgilePM its strong foundation and credibility. The framework and certification continues to play a key role in the delivery of strategic goals for many individuals and organisations. Just a few of the many who trust this are the Home Office, HMRC, Grayce, and the NHS. Published by our partner the Agile Business Consortium in 2010, AgilePM has recently undergone updates, recognising the need to be agile and stay aligned with changing times.
But why has AgilePM proven so popular? Here are some of the key features that contribute to its success:
A tried and tested approach for confidence and credibility
For organisations: AgilePM is based on a framework with over 20 years of refinement, giving leaders the assurance of proven governance while still allowing the flexibility modern businesses demand.
For individuals: Using a well-established framework builds personal credibility and trust, showing you can manage projects with both rigour and agility.
Covers the full project lifecycle, not just product delivery
