Agile Project Management Fundamentals for IT Outsource

Welcome to the Agile Project Management fundamentals for IT Outsource course! 

Project management in IT currently looks like a promising entry point for those who want to start their journey in the IT industry.

A few hard skills, good English and stress resistance open up this opportunity for you. However, interviewing a large number of graduates of offline IT project management courses, I see that most candidates are overwhelmed by the theoretical aspects of project management, and trained to solve problems that they are unlikely to meet in real life. They lack understanding of their immediate tasks in the specifics of IT Outsource, and they do not have the skills to perform them.

Candidates who understand the realities of this profession require less attention and understand the expectations from their work - they immediately stand out among competitors and, as a rule, receive a job offer. To prepare such candidates, to give everything you need - the goal of this course!

This course is designed to give students all the information they need to:

- Understanding the essence of the tasks performed and expectations from the work of Project Manager in IT Outsource

- Understanding the essence of work on flexible project methodologies, how they are applied in IT outsource and how they need to be adapted to the needs of projects

- Knowledge of techniques and options for project infrastructure management

- Deep understanding of the features and essence of the work performed and the specifics of interaction with various IT specialists (developers, QA's, BA's, UI / UX designer's, DevOps engineer's)

- Understanding what good processes are, what needs to be monitored and what measures to take in order for the project to move towards successful completion

- Understanding the algorithms for performing various additional PM activities in IT outsource (upsales, pre-sales, work with contracts, work with the community)

- Practical use of most of the required artifacts during the first year of PM work

And as a result, it will allow you to successfully pass an interview for the position of at least a Junior Project manager, work productively even in the absence of a mentor or an organized onboarding process for you and not fail your first projects!
