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.
The Applied Project Management course is a broad and deep exploration of the ten project management knowledge areas and covers essential tools and techniques that address all of the project life cycle, including dealing with risks, issues and changes. This course runs in Bunbury on November 6-8.
