Agile project management delivers results quickly in short sprints. In this course you get to grips with the Agile philosophy, scrum roles and useful tools such as MoSCoW and timeboxing. Afterwards you are ready for the official Foundation exam.
Description
Agile project management is a popular and effective way of working on projects. Projects are delivered in small, manageable steps (sprints). As a project manager, you steer an Agile project differently from traditional methods such as PRINCE2.
In the Agile Project Management Foundation course you are introduced to the philosophy and the basic principles of Agile and scrum. You learn which roles, responsibilities and team structures belong to an Agile project team, and how to apply the Agile Framework in practice. You also get to work with aids and tools such as the MoSCoW method and timeboxing.
After completing the course, you will be able to manage projects flexibly, respond quickly and achieve the maximum project result within a short lead time. You will also be well prepared for the official Agile Project Management Foundation exam.

Result
After this course you know the philosophy, principles and processes of Agile project management and you understand how Agile relates to more traditional methods such as PRINCE2. You know the team roles within a scrum team and you know which Agile techniques, aids and tools to use in which situation.
You will be able to manage projects yourself according to the Agile Framework, set priorities using the MoSCoW method and structure your work with timeboxing. You will recognise risks in an Agile project and know how to limit them. You will also be well prepared for the official Agile Project Management Foundation exam.
Target audience
The Agile Project Management Foundation course has been developed for project managers in an Agile environment. The course is also of interest to information managers, business analysts, functional designers, product developers and software engineers who work in Agile teams or will shortly start doing so.
Teaching method
During this course theory alternates with plenty of practice. You work with examples from your own working situation and apply the Agile principles directly in exercises and assignments. This way you experience how sprints, scrum roles and tools such as the MoSCoW method and timeboxing work in practice.
You take the course in a small group, guided by an experienced trainer with extensive practical experience in Agile project management. There is plenty of room for questions, discussion and exchanging experiences with other participants. You receive up-to-date course material and, afterwards, a certificate of participation. Would you like to be officially certified? You can book the accompanying exam separately.
Prior knowledge
No specific prior knowledge is required for this course. Some experience of working on projects or in project teams is useful, but not a requirement. Are you interested in Agile and do you want to manage projects more flexibly? Then you can simply join.

What others say about this course
“An instructive course that gives you a good impression of how to work on a project basis.”
“In a short space of time I was given a great many tools that allow me to set up and manage my projects better. I can even apply the knowledge I gained on a personal level.”
“A substantively strong and practice-oriented course in which all the points I raised beforehand were covered in detail. The alternation between theory and practice was pleasant and immediately applicable. Thanks to Hans's extensive practical experience, I picked up valuable tips and learned to look at everyday work challenges in a different way. The course was excellently run, well organised and the contact was pleasant. As an addition, I would like to see soft skills practised through role-play as well.”
“During the Project Management course I was in a small group of 3 people, which I found very pleasant. It is also good that the course strikes a sound balance between theory and practice. This helps you master the theory even better. In a word: an outstanding course.”
"An enjoyable, practical course in which you can start working on your own project straight away."
“Enjoyable and interesting three-day course with plenty of room for examples from the practice of the participants and the trainer. The trainer delivers the course with a great deal of expertise, creates a good atmosphere in the group and has a sense of humour, which makes the material stick all the better.”
“Learnit is an excellent organisation that delivers its courses well in first-rate surroundings. I had a good trainer and a lovely lunch.”
"I really enjoyed the Project Management course. A highly competent trainer who also knows the practical side well. Demanding, but definitely worth it."

“I found it a practical course and I was able to translate the content to my own situation, which made it visual for me.”
"Enjoyable course with plenty of hands-on practice!"
“A course that is readily applicable in practice, delivered in a highly engaging and interactive way. After 3 days the participant has a number of tools they can put to use straight away.”
“As a beginner with no previous project management experience, I found this course excellent. I learned a great deal and was given valuable, practical tools to get started with and to keep a good overview. They were three thoroughly enjoyable and instructive days.”
“Learnit's project management course gives a good insight into the process steps and the decision points for each phase. The subject matter is fairly complex, but thanks in part to the trainer's sound, enthusiastic and thorough approach, you are guided nicely through the steps of working on a project basis.”
"Because of his approach, I can wholeheartedly recommend this trainer as someone who will expertly help you become more at home in the practice of project management."
"A practice-oriented course. Afterwards you can get started with it straight away. Good value for money."
“Within three days you get a good picture of how 'project management' works. You can actually get started with it straight away.”
"If you are looking for a practice-oriented Project Management course, this course is an excellent choice. Over three days, the various aspects of a project are covered and you are able to draw up an initial plan of approach. You work on your own (future) project and by the end of the course you have more than enough tools to tackle it with confidence."
"A good course with plenty of practical examples. Learning objectives were set on day 1 and covered for each participant. Very applicable to my current situation and to all the problems everyone comes across personally in their project life."
"An excellent course for conveying the basics of project management to your team members. It enables them to be self-starting in projects and to come up with a sound plan. They can also constructively and critically challenge others when they have a role other than that of project manager."
"The Project Management course is a course that gives you structure for both small and large projects. The tools on offer can be used straight away or are interesting to develop further. The diversity of the participants was also an instructive side benefit that worked out inspiringly and refreshingly, as we shared each other's experiences."
“The course provides both a sound theoretical basis and its practical application. This is done through a well-structured treatment of the material combined with some case studies to put it into practice. Ultimately you want the subject matter to become second nature, rather than a trick you have learned. They have found a good method for that. The small group size is also very pleasant. Plenty of room for personal questions.”
"A course I really got something out of, with a great trainer who teaches with passion and enthusiasm, creates variety and really knows what she is talking about!"
"An interesting course that takes you into the world of project management. After the course you have enough basic knowledge to get started in practice."
"Excellent training course, excellent venue (Zwolle) and the trainer manages to discuss the core aspects of project management clearly in 3 days, but above all in an informal way. Theory and practice are well alternated through individual as well as group assignments. The group consisted of 3 participants, so you get a lot of personal attention. In addition, we came from completely different organisations, so you pick up a range of experiences. I am very satisfied with having taken this course!"

"Enjoyable course with plenty of hands-on practice!"
“A good start for understanding project management, experiencing it and putting it into practice.”

The trainer has a great deal of practical experience and combined that well with the theory."

My new knowledge is not only immediately applicable, but also a sound basis for a follow-up course."
