Agile Methods are a set of project management procedures that are particularly well suited to digital and web-based projects because they can deal well with constant and unexpected change. This course is a general overview of the system and provides an introduction to all the important Agile concepts and, through workshop activities, gives hands-on experience of how it feels to manage a project using this approach.
This is a one-day introduction to one part of the digital project management process. Project managers approaching this subject for the first time, or who require more depth, should also consider Managing Digital Projects, which covers the whole process in more detail.
Anyone considering Agile methodology to project manage software and online development within publishing.
Project managers who need to do a course that goes into more depth should have a look at Managing Digital Projects – a three-day course that covers the whole process of managing a digital project in much greater depth.
