Snap Tech and APMG International take Agile into the mainstream!

Snap Tech and APMG International provide internationally accredited best practice training in qualifications such as PRINCE2®, MSP®, M_o_R® and MoP™. They have launched a new Agile Project Management training course and certification in South Africa, in recognition of the value many of the agile techniques such as Standups, Timeboxing and MOSCOW can add to project management.

This accredited training event has been created by the APMG in conjunction with the DSDM Consortium, and provides the world’s first independent certification in Agile Project Management. It provides delegates with an understanding of how the Agile Project Management process can enable an empowered approach to the development of any product or system. The event provides the opportunity to gain certification as an Agile Project Manager at both Foundation and Practitioner levels.

Guy Eastoe, MD of Snap Tech points out that at last we have a practical approach to agile that synergizes with the organizational need to maintain sensible and effective governance, while at the same time enabling the benefits provided by an agile approach. It’s applicable to most projects, but must be applied and tailored sensibly. It gives us more choices in selecting our approach to projects.

The Agile Project Management qualification aims to address the needs of those working in a project-focused environment who want to be Agile. Based on the proven fundamentals within DSDM Atern, the new certification provides the ability to deliver Agile Projects in organizations requiring standards, rigor and visibility around Project Management, while at the same time enabling the fast pace, change and empowerment provided by Agile.

The course will:

• Explain how to lay the foundations for successful agile projects
• Explain how an agile project is managed
• Clarify the different management styles needed for successful agile projects (compared to “traditional” projects)
• Provide integration with PRINCE2®.
