Advanced Agile Management Methods

Basic agile project management certification shows that the candidate understands how to use agile management techniques to manage projects in corporate environments. Yet, not all projects are created equal: some require a higher level of nuanced understanding of the application agile management techniques plus familiarity with more advanced topics such as organizational governance of agile projects including agile in a CMMI environment, scaling agile projects, agile contracting, agile fixed price projects, and more; advanced agile metrics including earned business value, agile earned value, running tested features, budget burn, and agile balanced scorecards; agile reporting and communications (kanban boards, agile documentation, dealing with distributed teams); and agile adoption with a team or within the enterprise.

This course meets the educational requirements for the Certified Senior Project Manager designation from the Project Management Association of Canada -- please check with that organization for additional certification requirements.
