What past course attendees say:
Agile is one of the most misunderstood approaches to project management. Far from being a loose, free-for-all, it is a disciplined approach to managing projects where the final end point is not known at the beginning. This course explores the benefits and application of the Agile approach in the workplace.
If you are asking questions about 'how to manage a project successfully, best ways to manage a project or what tools can I use for project management', this course is your answer. Aimed at those who are new to project management, this short course is ideal as it will introduce you to the ten project management knowledge areas and the project lifecycle.
