Why is AgilePM® so popular?

Agile project management qualifications are rapidly increasing! Although agile development methods such as Scrum dominate the software industry, they are also growing in other industries. As more companies adopt agile, they are looking for dedicated agile project management methods to help them. People with agile project management certifications are therefore in high demand in the job market. You can benefit from this AgilePM certification!

Agile projects are characterized by highly self-managing teams that deliver products in stages with a focus on early delivery of real business benefits. Unlike more traditional approaches, agile projects fix time, cost, and quality in the early stages of the project and manage readiness by developing a clear picture of priorities in collaboration with the business.

There are six key factors why agile project management (AgilePM®) has proven popular.

1. It provides governance and agility.

Agile project management (AgilePM®) is based on the Agile Project Framework (APF), which was founded over 20 years ago and combines both corporate governance aspects and important agile concepts, with a particular focus on project managers. The authors of the APF were DSDM, one of the founding signatories of the Agile Manifesto.

2. Never compromise on quality

Never compromising on quality is an underlying principle of Agile project management (AgilePM ®). This is facilitated by agreeing on high-level acceptance criteria throughout the project lifecycle.

3. Risk management

A starting point in Agile project management (AgilePM ®) for understanding risks is the project approach questionnaire. This enables a common understanding of project risks and how they can be mitigated.

4. Goes beyond product development strategies

Common agile methods such as Scrum offer product development methods, but they do not address project management. Agile project management (AgilePM ®) goes beyond Scrum by offering an agile project management method.

5. Clear roles and responsibilities

Agile project management (AgilePM®) assigns clear roles and responsibilities to people from the business, user, technical, and management areas so that effective collaboration between stakeholders can be achieved.

6. Includes popular agile methods

Important agile methods such as MoSCoW, timeboxing, and iterative development are included in Agile Project Management (AgilePM®) to support effective product development.

Changing requirements

Agile methods recognize that users often do not fully understand their requirements when projects start and that these are therefore likely to change during the course of the project. While changing requirements can often be problematic in more traditional project management methods, agile methods are open to changing requirements.

In agile projects, time and cost are normally fixed components, but the project's requirements and scope are variable. Agile projects are therefore better at delivering on time than more traditional project management methods.

Agile methods focus on incremental and iterative releases of products to users and customers, with each iteration or incremental release providing the user with even more functionality. Agile can therefore deliver products to users early, which helps users to better understand and refine their requirements after a period of use.

AgilePM ® (Agile Project Management) is the world's leading certification in agile project management. The qualification balances robust governance with a collaborative culture that inspires innovation and improves competitive advantage.
