Agile Programme Management Overview

The world of project and programme management has been evolving over recent years, with agile methods and practices become increasingly popular as organisations seek to respond faster and more effectively to ever-increasing change initiatives.

AgilePgM provides programme managers with a disciplined but flexible agile approach to the management of transformational organizational change, allowing for iterative and incremental delivery of outputs and benefits.

The governance model, contained within the guidance, ensures a programme will capture its vision, whilst empowering teams to work without undue interference. Built on firm foundations, the programme can evolve and react to business change in our increasingly dynamic world.

Who Should Attend?

This course is designed for those working in a programme environment wanting to understand and apply agile practices.

OBJECTIVES

The course helps participants to:

  • Understand the fundamentals of Agile Programme Management
  • Lay the foundations for successful agile programmes
  • Understand the philosophy, principles, processes, roles and documentation required in an agile programme – compared with a “traditional” programme
  • Develop a more advanced, applied level of knowledge to gain an understanding of agile methods; gain the ability to apply relevant programme management methods, leading to successful agile programmes
  • Clarify different management styles needed for successful agile programmes compared to traditional programmes and be able to tailor these to the situation
  • Actively promote trust and close co-operation between all stakeholders and provide ongoing visibility into what is happening
  • Combine knowledge of more traditional management methodologies with agile methods to ensure continuous alignment to a changing business environment
  • Ensure incremental and iterative realisation of benefits by encouraging active stakeholder involvement, feedback and effective controls
  • Prepare for the Agile Programme Management Foundation examination

The guidance is based on the DSDM® (Dynamic System Development Method) approach - a long established, internationally recognised framework for agile project delivery.

Richard Pyta's extensive experience brought the class alive; even in 'dry' topics. His theoretical VS practical anecdotes gave me insight into real-world scenarios.
