Agile principles and practices are topics of growing interest and importance in the project management community. PMI's research has shown that the use of agile has tripled from December 2008 to May 2011.  Project management practitioners are embracing agile principles and practices as a technique for successfully managing projects because of the value that agile can have in decreasing product defects, improving team productivity, and increasing delivery of business value.

 

The purpose of this course is to demonstrate the values of agile principles and practices, and how Agile compares with the PMBOK® Guide-Fourth Edition Process groups and differs from traditional waterfall principals. Common terms are defined and the activities prompt you to identify how agile you may already be, and if PMI's new PMI-ACPsm certification is right for you.
