Explore the benefits of a hybrid agile model, blending plan-driven structure with agile flexibility to accelerate time to market, manage risk, and empower productive, cross-functional teams.
Explore agile inception planning, from a front-end, thin or thick approach, outlining a set of factors (team, vision, scope, risk, funding, tech strategy, charter) to align stakeholders and finalize scope.
Explore a one-week agile inception planning process from ThoughtWorks, detailing vision, personas, journeys, feature sequencing, and a minimum viable product canvas.
discover how the managed agile development framework merges plan-driven macro control with adaptive micro agile execution, and how project, release, and sprint planning manage costs, scope, and flexibility.
Collaborate on release and sprint level planning to define backlogs, estimate schedules, and trade off scope, then align sprint objectives with the release plan through continuous feedback.
Explore how lean principles influence agile project management. Identify value, map the value stream, create flow, establish pull, and pursue continuous improvement to maximize customer value and minimize waste.
Discover how agile project management delivers adaptability, faster time to market, and higher customer satisfaction by tailoring the approach, reducing overhead, and blending agile with waterfall when needed.
Explore team level, hybrid, and enterprise agile project management roles through case studies, and see how responsibilities shift toward product owner and scrum master with a consultative coaching approach.
This team-level case study shows how an agile project manager stabilizes a large legacy CRM replacement by aligning people, processes, and tools, with a dedicated product owner and Jira-driven backlog.
The purpose of this exercise is to assess the most likely Agile Project Management career path

Course Summary:
The use of Agile methodologies is growing at an incredible rate, the basic way we do traditional plan-driven project management hasn't changed significantly since the 1950's and 1960's and the rate of technology change today is making a pure plan-driven approach very cumbersome and impractical to implement in many real-world situations. That doesn't mean that traditional plan-driven project methodologies are obsolete and no longer useful; however, within a relatively short amount of time, a project manager who only knows how to use traditional plan-driven methodologies will be at a serious disadvantage in the job market.
That's a big challenge for many project managers who have been schooled and indoctrinated in a plan-driven project management approach because Agile changes the very nature of how we do project management in many environments. This course will help you understand the impact of these changes and learn how to adapt your career to move into a high-impact Agile Project Management role.
