Course: Agile Project Management
A 3-day introductory course on agile project management sponsored by the Professional Development Centre of the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of Toronto.
Whether in government or private industry, project managers face a huge
challenge when confronted with continually-changing requirements. How
can you plan when the things keep changing? Traditional project
management approaches suggest that we take a snapshot of the
requirements as a baseline, and then use change control in an attempt
to minimize the impact of any shifting requirements. Sometimes,
however, these changes are a reality that the project sponsor has to
accommodate. The new Agile Project Management methods help deal with
these situations.
Participants in this session will learn the techniques of Agile Project Management through simulations and examples from real-world projects that used these methods to control changing requirements. Learning Objectives To provide experienced project managers with advanced understanding of the principles and techniques of agile project management, so that they will be able to identify situations where agile techniques may add value and begin to apply the techniques to reduce overall project risk on high-change projects.
