Agile Project Management

While the Agile manifesto was written 20 years ago, it is certainly not a thing of the past. Scrum remains as in-demand as ever, and it’s a required skill for people working in project management.

Skills You'll Gain

🛠 Identify a project ripe for Agile transformation.

🛠 Define project requirements according to the Scrum framework.

🛠 Plan and lead a 2-week Sprint.

🛠 Adapt your current project management skills with Agile principles.
