Description

Welcome to the PMI-ACP Certification Agile Project Management for Beginners. This course includes the already popular course 1 and 2 of that will form the Agile Project Management - The PMI-ACP (Agile Certified Practitioner) Certification Program.

Course 1 of 8: The Agile Project Management Essentials

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.

As described, this is a basic introduction to Agile methodology. If you are hoping to take the PMI-ACP exam and need PDUs to qualify for the exam, you would be better off taking a prep course that gives enough PDUs to meet the requirement. If you have taken one of those courses already, there is no new material in this course.
