Agile Project Management Brief Description: This introductory course consists of two major parts, an in-depth coverage of iterative-incremental (agile) project management, followed by an introduction of common agile project management practices. First, the participants will learn the details of iterative-incremental development from a project manager’s perspective. In multiple hands-on exercises, the students will practice estimating effort and time, planning and executing iterations, reviewing progress through retrospectives and managing risks. Each of these practices are applied in the unique context of how agility impacts project management. Additionally, the students will learn how agile project management benefits other stakeholders, including the impact of agility on return of investment, customer satisfaction, team morale, quality and many others. During the session, the instructor will highlight and explain common mistakes and misunderstandings of agile project management. Second, this course will introduce the three most popular agile methodologies (Scrum, XP and RUP) and will give an overview of the differences, advantages and disadvantages always keeping the project manager in mind. After this course, every participant will be equipped with fundamental skills about iterative-incremental project management as well as enough information to make a sound decision in choosing or tailoring the best possible process for their own agile project.
