The AgilePM® Practitioner v3 training is based on the latest version of the methodology, updated at the end of 2024. 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. It is particularly valuable for project managers, business analysts, change leaders and anyone responsible for leading or supporting agile projects in dynamic organizations.
Over the course of 2 intensive days, participants engage in practical exercises, case studies and group discussions to strengthen their ability to apply AgilePM in real business contexts. The course goes beyond theory – it shows how to balance flexibility with control, align project outcomes with business goals and create conditions for successful agile delivery.
By the end of the training, participants are well-prepared to take the official APMG International exam and earn the AgilePM Practitioner certification, which is internationally recognized as proof of advanced competence in agile project management. Holding this credential demonstrates not only knowledge of agile frameworks such as AgilePM and Scrum, but also the ability to put them into practice to deliver value-driven results.
