AgilePM Foundation (including exam)

During the AgilePM Foundation training, the participants are explained how the model is set up, how the different project activities and project roles are connected and how AgilePM deals with project management.  

The AgilePM Foundation certification is the result of collaboration between APMG-International and the DSDM Consortium. DSDM (Dynamic Systems Development Method) is the longest existing Agile method, as well as the only Agile method aimed at managing Agile projects. Has evolved over the years into Project Framework, and AgilePM is a subset tailored for the Agile project manager.

Furthermore, this method is easy to apply and AgilePM, in addition to a framework, also provides best practices that guarantee projects a success. The AgilePM Foundation training, which is internationally recognized, ensures that your practical skills are developed so that you can run projects independently. You will of course also learn about all theory related to the Agile philosophy and Agile methodology. The training goes much further than a timebox approach or scrum and is therefore extremely suitable for small and large projects or programs. This while taking into account the requirements of the business itself, which is often underestimated.

This course is intended for anyone who is currently working on Agile-based projects or has experience with other forms of project management experience and would like to add Agile PM skills and knowledge to their portfolio.
Anyone with some experience of project work, either on the customer or supplier side, can benefit from this course, including but not limited to: project manager, team leaders and managers or project assistants.

Some experience with participating in projects is recommended.
