Are you looking for your next opportunity or a successful path to your career at the existing organization you work for? What skills will come in handy to climb up the corporate ladder? Then, here’s your chance to enroll in this course and take the next step. This course is full of group activities that provide hands-on exercises on Traditional Project Management, Agile Management, and Lean concepts from start to finish. There are NO prerequisites to take the workshop. This course will give you quite a bit of project management/Agile concepts that will groom you to face the challenges of the waterfall world and provide you with the requisite solutions.

Research demonstrates agile's value in decreasing product defects, improving team productivity, and increasing delivery of business value. The PMI-ACP® is positioned to recognize and validate knowledge of this critical approach.

For teams to be agile, a significantly different leadership and management skill set is in demand that is vastly different from the regular Project Managers to achieve success truly. As a project manager, you can’t simply assign work to everyone and expect ownership of delivery. Instead, one needs to be a strong coach, a change agent, and a very effective communicator. PMI is embracing Agile, recognizing its significant positive results in delivering ownership and better customer outcomes.

By completing this hands-on workshop, participants can:

• Demonstrate to employers their professionalism in project management principles and practices.
• Increase your professional versatility in project management tools and techniques.
