Description

Go beyond Scrum and master a structured, scalable approach to Agile project delivery with this 2-day AgilePM® Foundation certification course. Based on the AgilePM® Handbook v3 published by the Agile Business Consortium and delivered live in our virtual classroom by an expert instructor, this course prepares you for the AgilePM® Foundation examination, awarded by APMG International.

ITSM Hub offers multiple delivery methods including virtual classroom, self-paced online and onsite options.

What is AgilePM®?

AgilePM® is built on the DSDM (Dynamic Systems Development Method) framework, the world's most established corporate Agile project management methodology. Where Scrum excels at team-level delivery, AgilePM® operates at the full project level, addressing the complete lifecycle from initiation and foundations through to project closure. It provides the ideal balance between the rigour and governance required for effective project management, and the speed, flexibility and empowerment of Agile.

AgilePM® Version 3 - updated for modern teams

The framework has recently been updated to Version 3, reflecting advancements in Agile methodologies, project management practices and technology. Key updates include:

A shift from delivering project outputs to delivering business value, ensuring meaningful outcomes, not just completed tasks

Empowering project managers to become Agile project leaders, not just administrators

Integration of Scrum as the core engine for product delivery within the AgilePM® lifecycle

Enhanced multi-team guidance- better strategies for managing projects across multiple teams with greater coordination and collaboration

Why AgilePM® for your organisation?

AgilePM® delivers proven, structured benefits that organisations can measure:

Rapid response to change - teams are empowered to adapt swiftly to shifts in market conditions, customer needs or technology

Built-in governance - quality, risk management and governance controls are embedded throughout the project lifecycle

Reduced risk of failure - iterative delivery allows teams to identify and resolve issues early, significantly reducing the likelihood of project failure

Faster delivery of value - functional increments are delivered continuously, getting value to customers sooner

Enhanced collaboration - structured stakeholder engagement ensures the final product reflects real customer expectations

Full lifecycle coverage - AgilePM® covers the entire project from business case through to closure

What will I learn?

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

Explain the underpinning philosophy and principles of Agile and how AgilePM® applies them in a structured project context

Describe the complete lifecycle of an AgilePM® project, including alternative configurations for different project types

Identify the products produced during an Agile project and explain the purpose each serves

Apply the key techniques used within AgilePM® - including MoSCoW prioritisation and timeboxing and evaluate their benefits and limitations

Define the roles and responsibilities within an AgilePM® project team and explain how they interact

Apply AgilePM® Version 3 concepts, including value-driven delivery, Agile project leadership and Scrum integration

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between AgilePM® and Scrum?
Scrum is a lightweight framework focused on team-level delivery, it works at the sprint level within a single team. AgilePM® operates at the full project level, covering everything from business case and governance through to project closure. AgilePM® Version 3 actually integrates Scrum as the core delivery engine within the wider project structure, so the two are complementary, not competing.
Do I need Scrum experience before attending this course?
While there are no formal prerequisites, a basic understanding of Agile and Scrum principles is recommended. ITSM Hub's Agile Scrum Essentials course is ideal preparation if you are new to Agile.
What comes after AgilePM® Foundation?
The natural next step is the AgilePM® Practitioner certification, which builds on Foundation knowledge to develop your ability to apply and tailor the framework in complex project environments. Foundation is a prerequisite for Practitioner.
Is AgilePM® relevant outside of IT?
Yes. While AgilePM® has strong roots in IT project delivery, Version 3's emphasis on business value, leadership and cross-functional collaboration makes it equally applicable in business change, digital transformation, product development and operations improvement contexts.
