The AgilePM® Practitioner v3 training is based on the latest version of the methodology, updated in September 2025. It combines the agile project governance offered by the AgilePM® approach and the agile approach to project delivery derived from the Scrum framework.
The training responds to the needs of professionals to ensure strong governance while applying an agile approach to producing project deliverables and relying on effective team collaboration.
The training lasts 2 days, during which participants solve exercises to acquire practical skills related to the application of the AgilePM® methodology.
Please note: In response to the needs of individuals certified in version 2, an AgilePM® v2 to v3 Conversion Course has been developed.
The course is designed for individuals who hold an AgilePM® Foundation v2 or AgilePM® Practitioner v2 certification. After completing the Conversion course, holders of the AgilePM® Foundation v2 certificate may proceed directly to the AgilePM® Foundation v3 exam. Holders of the AgilePM® Practitioner v2 certificate are required to complete the AgilePM® Practitioner v3 training before being eligible to sit the Practitioner v3 exam.
