Agile approaches continue to increase in popularity in the world of project management. A range of popular Agile methods have been employed to varying degrees by organizations to support their project management practices.

But few of them offer a complete project management solution (e.g. covering the full project lifecycle, roles & responsibilities, etc).

AgilePM guidance – published by the Agile Business Consortium – offers a complete framework for agile project management, achieving an ideal balance between the standards, rigour and visibility required for good project management, and the fast-pace, change and empowerment provided by agile.

And it’s proving very popular. Since it’s introduction in 2010, over 80.000 AgilePM exams have been sat globally, making it the leading guidance and certification for agile project management.

APMG International

The AgilePM guidance is owned and published by the Agile Business Consortium, and APMG International (official exam and accreditation institute for this guidance) is working in the Project Management community to increase awareness  about AgilePM. This webinar is organized in partnership with APMG International.

As part of our effort to provide more on information on “What’s next after Project Management?” with this webinar we introduce you to PMO Management.

If your focus is on improving the way that projects are done (so that more projects succeed and change is more effective), then you should consider P3O, which explains how to use offices to support projects, programs and portfolios. You can facilitate effective portfolio, programme and project management in your organization by implementing a PMO Office. This may be provided through a single permanent office which may exist under several different names e.g. PMO, Portfolio Office, Centre of Excellence, Enterprise or Corporate Programme Office. It may otherwise be provided through a linked set of offices (portfolio office, programme offices, project offices), both permanent (enabling/supporting business objectives and consistency of delivery) and temporary (enabling/supporting specific programmes and projects), providing a mix of central and localized services.

As part of our effort to provide more on information on “What’s next after Project Management?” with this webinar we introduce you to Programme Management.

In you are a project manager, or a manager, managing bigger-and-bigger projects and driving transformational business change, your next step is Programme Management. MSP, Managing Successful Programmes, represents proven good practice in programme management in successfully delivering transformational change, drawn from the experiences of both public and private sector organisations. MSP defines programme management as “the action of carrying out the coordinated organization, direction and implementation of a dossier of projects and transformational activities (i.e. the programme), to achieve outcomes and realize benefits of strategic importance to the business”. In fact it’s key to understand that a programme is not only a “bigger project”, but can also be a set of coordinated projects.
