Agile is not what you do, Agile is what you become! An introduction to the essentials of Agile Scrum as a delivery method. The same learning objectives as used in central government & public sector digital delivery projects. Agile is not what you do, Agile is what you become! Since 2012, all government departments have been required to use the Agile approach to project management, to build and run new digital services. As you begin your Agile journey, one of your first challenges will be understanding the rules and roles that support Agile delivery, some of the most frequently asked questions are "Which Agile framework is applicable to our business operating model?" or, "Is the Project Manager role equivalent to that of theProduct Owner?" and, "What does a Scrum Master do?" A strong corporate culture not accustomed to the Agile mindset can also be a difficult environment in which to implement Agile methods. In some cases, the company’s culture and practices may reward non-Agile milestones while inadvertently discouraging Agile success. This intensive two-day training course combines PowerPoint presentations, informal discussions and practical exercises to introduce you to Agile Scrum as a Delivery Method, without the impending pressure of having to pass a formal certification examination. Previous experience of Agile delivery is not a pre-requisite to attending this course, although it is assumed delegates have previously attended the Primer course, or have some understanding of Agile Scrum terms and practices. This course, designed by Agile Scrum practitioners and coaches with specialist experience of working on GDS (Government Digital Service) Service Standards compliant government and public sector projects has been accredited by The CPD Certification Service and is now available outside its usual central government and public sector digital delivery setting. Who this course is for Service and Programme Managers If you are a Service Manager or Programm Manager who wants to explore the benefits of transitioning to Agile ways of working and want to understand how your existing business processes and resource landscape will fit into an Agile delivery model, then this course aims to provide you with enough information to enable you to make an informed decision. Career ambitions If you are new to Agile and your intention is to pursue a career either as an Agile Scrum Master or Agile Product Owner, you will hopefully be provided with enough knowledge to enable you to determine which role best suits your Agile career ambitions.

Project Management Fundamentals - Français Many projects are managed by very efficient and very competent people who have no training in project management.They manage projects as they would manage a process improvement, the deployment of a marketing campaign, the development of a new product, the planning or implementation of an event, or many other 'tasks' referred to as projects.The 'Project Management Fundamentals' course (in English 'Project Management Fundamentals', or 'PMF') is designed to support those people who need a solid foundation of project management knowledge, without being unnecessarily overloaded by learning in addition to the usual work. The course provides a set of practices, concepts and principles that can be brought to the workplace, as well as knowledge to adapt to specific project environments.Nowadays, this relates for example to Agile or iterative methods.Thus, we recently added the key concepts of Agile to allow a basic understanding of how these two methods can possibly coexist.

Work Breakdown Structures - Français: On-Demand It's amazing how often project managers start the project planning process by making a list of all the tasks they think will be needed to complete a project, then proclaiming that they've created the breakdown structure. (WBS) for the project.The result is a list of hundreds or even thousands of tasks, many of which have a duration of a few days or a few hours. Essentially what they did was create a 'to do' list, which they then use as a 'checklist' to measure progress.This approach leads to, and even encourages, the micromanagement of resources working on the project without considering the more critical aspects of project management such as: requirements management, risk management, procurement management, estimating , planning, execution and control.Moreover, it is impossible to see the big picture, at detailed levels, in line with the needs of sponsors, customers, project and functional managers, team leaders and project implementers. Join us for this exciting program and learn how to use the WBS to make more informed business decisions. What You Will Learn You will learn how: Describe the need for a WBS project Describe the role of WBS in the project Gain hands-on experience in developing, decomposing, and using WBS Determine the appropriate level of detail in the WBS. Explain how the WBS integrates with project requirements, risks, procurement, estimating, planning, and overall project execution. Provide the basic tools to improve the effective reuse of key information in your future projects Getting started Concepts de base WBS & Perimeter WBS & Risks WBS & Estimations WBS & Echéancier WBS & Execution and Mastery Summary and Next Steps
