ABOUT THE COURSE 

This workshop builds on the specific roles and responsibilities of the Project Manager in a traditional environment that can be easily adapted in an Agile environment. In particular, we will explore what skills and behavioral changes are necessary and how to effectively manage an Agile project, including both specific Agile methods and hybrid models. 

You will come away from this workshop with a much deeper understanding of the Agile Project Manager so that 

individual performance improves on the job. Improved target results include providing focused leadership, making effective decisions, guiding Agile teams, and overall ability to successfully lead and manage an Agile project. 

This course also supports learning requirements for Agile and Scrum certifications from various organizations 

such as PMI-ACP, PSM I, and PSPO I.
