Project Laneways Help Project Managers Take on Agile

Announcement posted by Project Laneways Australia 18 Dec 2019

Project Laneways Agile Business Consortium Scrum Master Certification and Agile Project Management courses are suitable for portfolio, programme and project managers interested in moving to an agile approach.

They are ideal for teams dealing with high workloads and anyone who works alongside or within Scrum teams.  Originally embraced by IT teams, Scrum is rapidly being adopted by other disciplines such as HR, finance departments, product design, marketing and many others.

Financial Times, London and Lonely Planet Melbourne offices have adopted techniques of agile becoming inevitably lean along the way. These companies are adopting some of the agile methods that have transformed how software is developed across the world and are applying them to their work as lawyers and compliance professionals. Agile working has had a direct impact on managing what had been intolerable work levels for these teams.

While Agile won’t be a panacea for every team, for small or medium-sized teams dealing with issues of workflow management it is well worth looking into. Agile working takes a variety of forms like Scrum and Kanban. Financial Times legal teams have customised their approach based loosely on the Kanban system.

The APMG-ABC Scrum Master Certification is on the 24th February, 2020. Business professionals can gain a deeper understanding of the scrum framework and how to become an effective Scrum master. They can learn how to facilitate scrum events and help product owners manage the back log.

 

Scrum is the most popular Agile approach and the Project Laneways certification provides

Internationally recognised accreditation.   The APMG-ABC course, syllabus and learning objectives are based on The Scrum Guide (The Definitive Guide to Scrum: The Rules of the Game). The course has been developed in partnership with Agile Business Consortium who are leaders in promoting and enabling business agility. The course materials and exercises developed by an experienced Scrum Master trainer. The APMG Scrum Master certification does not expire. The candidates do not need to re-certify. APMG-ABC Scrum Master exam can be taken at the end of the course.

 

The Project Laneways Agile PM Foundation course is a three day event and covers all you need to know to run an Agile PM project. It also includes a detailed introduction to Scrum. The next AgilePMv2 Foundation Course is taking place in Melbourne on February 10th, 2020.
