Description

Welcome to the Agile Project Management Essentials course. This is the first course of a series of eight that will form the Agile Project Management - The PMI-ACP (Agile Certified Practitioner) Certification Program.

Why Agile Project Management?

Agile projects are characterized by the use of short work iterations and incremental development of products, made possible by focusing on business priorities and customer value. The course provides an introduction to common agile methodologies, describes the relationship between defined and empirical processes, and highlights the key difference in regard to the triangle of constraints of agile versus traditional methods.

Guidance on how to take steps towards adopting an agile project management approach for those who currently use a traditional, plan-driven methodology is included. The relevant section discusses some common myths and misconceptions about agile development approaches, identifies factors to consider when deciding whether to adopt agile practices, and explains the general agile practices that a company may want to adopt. 

Who is your instructor?

My name is Sorin, and I will be your instructor. I am a trainer and project manager with more than 10 years of experience. Before Udemy, I trained hundreds of people in a classroom environment – civil servants, managers, project workers, aid workers and many more. And I managed projects in the fields of justice, corrections, regional development and human resources development.

How will you benefit?

And, this course is intended for project managers, program managers, or anyone who wants to efficiently participate in agile projects. It is aligned with the Agile Certified Practitioner exam objectives developed by the Project Management Institute® and Certified ScrumMaster learning objectives.

The course includes training videos, examples, exercices and quizes. And, if you take your time to go through all the learning materials this will entitle you to claim 5 PDU’s for the PMI certification exams and to maintain your PMI certification.

So, thank you for condidering this course! Now, go ahead, and hit that "Take This Course" button. And, see you on the inside.

This is an amazing course I would recommend any time. The platform and the presentation makes it easy to follow. I could always pause and go back to my notes or downloaded material if I need clarity. Am excited for the next course!

lot of value for the money. Very useful tips that you can apply right away. The challenge is about incorporating these in your routine. I think one of the best courses out there.

Beyond thorough and engaging, this course provided incredible value. I was able to find helpful nuggets even in sections that didn't directly apply to me.

I have enrolled in other Udemy courses before which were taught by the same tutor. I just want to say that the more he does, the better he gets. In this course, it seems as though he is teaching me specifically and not me and thousands of other students as other tutors do.

I really liked learning about the simple things that influence behaviour on an individual level, and understanding how I can use Agile methods to manage projects and organisations.

This course was really great. Some of the content I had learned in previous courses, but it was good to go over it again. The new content applies very well to my job. Thank you

The course is promising, and I am interested in taking all the other parts, as soon as they are live. Presentation is simple and friendly. Visuals are good, information is well delivered. The course logic is clear, and I appreciate the fact that the instructor reminds the general framework when appropriate.

So far,this course has promoted the PMI-ACP and told us about the content of the other 7 courses on offer. Instructor was not engaging. With the questions at the end of each section the repetitiveness was quite annoying. Reiterating the incorrect answers was not helpful. The volume changed from lecture to lecture. Between lectures the shrieking sound became annoying very quickly.

I'm interesting in a certification. And, I will try to take all the relevant courses. This is a great introduction and it is part of a certification program. So, it is exactly what I need. It's designed to fit the needs of busy people. Small chunks, lots of examples and exercices. And, the instructor's explanations are clear and easy to understand.
