You will learn how to organize and deliver scope using a mixture of methods, such as a WBS, backlog, and releases. PMX provides you with the opportunity to tailor the functions needed to lead a project so you can balance management needs and support self-organizing teams. It helps you honor the need for flexibility while aligning with best practices. The X in Project Management X represents how you can think differently about determining a tailored approach to your projects in order to meet the needs of your organization.
