AgilePM® Practitioner Course & Examination

In the agile spirit of continual improvement the AgilePM framework has recently been updated to version 3. The new certification is aligned with advancements in agile methodologies, project management, business practices, and technology to embrace a shift to a more human-centered approach.  

AgilePM training and certification is based on the AgilePM Handbook, published by the Agile Business Consortium. Our 2-day AgilePM Practitioner course prepares you for the exam leading to the AgilePM Practitioner Certification.

Course Overview

AgilePM3 turns project management into agile project leadership, empowering you to master all elements of agile project management. Version 3 incorporates significant updates to the content and structure of the framework to better meet the needs of modern project teams, including new learning modules and a greater emphasis on leadership and value delivery: 

• Focus on delivering value over merely delivering project outputs, ensuring meaningful business outcomes.
