Overview
The case for Agile methods is proven. Agile has escaped the
confines of the technical community is now on the business agenda
of all progressive companies. Increasingly, organisations that use
PRINCE2, PMI and other ‘traditional’ approaches to Project
Management are seeking to benefit from the introduction of Agile
methods. It may at first appear that there is an incompatibility
between Agile and PRINCE2., PMI and similar
methods – and it is true that using them together is not
straightforward. However the potential benefits are huge, and when
approached properly the issues can be addressed and can be resolved
in a way that builds on the strengths of both. This training course
considers the leading Agile approaches including eXtreme
Programming, Scrum, DSDM (Dynamic Systems Development Method)
Atern, the Agile/Open Unified Process and Lean Software
Development. It examines the issues, risks and benefits of
implementing Agile alongside PRINCE2, PMI and similar traditional
methods, and presents proven solutions through examination of the
implications and practical Case Studies.
