Agile Project Management Training Course

Our Agile Project Management Training Course is aimed at anyone coming into Agile from a background such as Prince 2 or ITIL, who needs to understand the business drivers, benefits, processes, and implications of moving to an Agile methodology - and then actually doing it.

This Agile course is designed to lay bare the jargon, dispel the myths, and inspire you and your team to embrace methodologies such as Scrum and Kanban, in order to work in harmony with Agile software development teams - whether in-house or out-sourced / off-shore development teams.

Our Agile training includes a variety of interactive exercises to bring relevance to the theory and keep you on your toes.

We're happy to offer this instructor-led Agile project management training online; in-person at our London training centre, or at your location of choice. Please get in touch to find out about flexible options to suit your team.
