An introduction to the Agile part of the bundle and what moving a team from Waterfall to Agile project management involves.
What Agile project management is, the values and principles behind it, and how it differs from a traditional Waterfall approach.
The change in mindset Agile needs, from fixed scope and up-front plans to iterative delivery, customer feedback and self-organising teams.
How to define clear goals for adopting Agile so the move is driven by real business outcomes rather than following a trend.
How to assess your organisation's culture, structure and management style to judge how ready it is for Agile working.
How to find sponsors, champions and allies who will back an Agile transition and help remove obstacles.
Why people resist moving from Waterfall to Agile, and practical ways to anticipate, address and reduce that resistance.
How to choose a suitable first project to pilot Agile, balancing visibility, risk, size and the chance of early success.
How to build a pilot team with the right skills, roles and commitment, including the Product Owner and Scrum Master.
How to set a clear product vision for the Agile pilot that guides the team and keeps stakeholders aligned.
The Scrum framework explained: roles, events and artefacts, and how they fit together to deliver work in sprints.
How to run sprint planning, select backlog items, set a sprint goal and estimate the work the team can commit to.
How a team runs a sprint day to day, including daily stand-ups, and how progress is tracked with burndown charts and velocity.
How to hold a sprint review to show completed work to stakeholders and a retrospective to improve how the team works.
Practical next steps for growing Agile beyond the pilot and building on what the first sprints taught you.
An overview of the PRINCE2 section of the bundle and what it covers.
What PRINCE2 is, where it came from, and how its principles, themes and processes fit together as a project management method.
How the PRINCE2 Foundation and Practitioner exams are structured, what each one tests, and how to plan your preparation to pass them.
The PRINCE2 principles, such as continued business justification, learning from experience and managing by exception, and why every project must apply them.
How the Business Case theme keeps a PRINCE2 project justified by tracking benefits, costs, risks and options throughout its life.
How the Organisation theme defines PRINCE2 roles and responsibilities, from the project board and executive to the project manager and team managers.
How the Quality theme sets quality expectations, acceptance criteria and quality control so products are fit for purpose.
How the Plans theme creates project, stage and team plans, and how product-based planning defines what must be delivered.
How the Risk theme identifies, assesses, plans responses to and controls threats and opportunities in a PRINCE2 project.
How the Change theme handles issues and change requests through configuration management, impact assessment and controlled approval by the right authority.
How the Progress theme uses tolerances, reports and management by exception to monitor progress and decide whether the project stays viable.
How the Starting up a Project process checks the project is worthwhile and viable before the organisation commits to initiation.
How the Initiating a Project process sets the foundations for the project, producing the project plan and initiation documentation.
How the project board uses the Directing a Project process to authorise stages, give direction and make key decisions.
How the project manager uses Controlling a Stage to assign work, monitor progress, handle issues and take corrective action.
How team managers use Managing Product Delivery to accept, carry out and deliver work packages to agreed quality.
How Managing a Stage Boundary reviews the current stage, plans the next one and updates the business case for the board's decision.
How the Closing a Project process confirms acceptance of products, reviews performance against the baseline and hands over.
How to tailor PRINCE2 to suit the size, complexity, risk and environment of a project without losing its principles.
What emotional intelligence is, where the idea comes from, and why it matters for project managers leading teams and managing stakeholders.
How emotional intelligence (EQ) differs from intellectual ability (IQ), and why EQ often has more influence on leadership success.
The five elements of emotional intelligence, self-awareness, self-management, self-motivation, empathy and social skills, and how they build on each other.
How to recognise your own emotions, strengths and triggers, and how self-awareness improves decisions as a project manager.
How to manage your emotions and reactions under pressure so you stay calm, consistent and trusted by your team.
How project managers build and keep their own motivation through setbacks, and use it to drive the team toward goals.
How to understand team members' and stakeholders' feelings and viewpoints, and use empathy to build trust and resolve conflict.
The social skills project managers need, such as clear communication, influence, conflict handling and relationship building with teams and stakeholders.
How to apply emotional intelligence in everyday project situations such as meetings, difficult conversations and stakeholder management.
Practical ways to develop emotional intelligence over time through self-reflection, asking for feedback and deliberate practice in real project situations.
How emotional intelligence helps a project manager lead, motivate and hold together a high-performing team, especially under pressure and change.
This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
Most project managers are strong in one area. Some know a structured method, some know Agile, and some know how to lead people. Few have all three.
This bundle brings them together in one course: moving from Waterfall to Agile and Scrum, the PRINCE2 method, and emotional intelligence for leading a project team.
Each part stands on its own. Together they cover the method, the delivery approach and the people side of the job.
