Agile for Non-IT Practitioners - How Agile Project Management is Different and How It Can be Used for Non-IT Projects (On-Demand) As a Project Management Institute (PMI)®Registered Education Provider (R.E.P.), IIL has agreed to abide by PMI®-established quality assurance criteria. In today's world of fast paced technology, continually changing requirements and project scope, the need for Agile Project Management has greatly increased. Responding to this demand, the Project Management Institute (PMI®) launched the PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP)®certification. A result of this certification is the creation of a new space where Project Management and Agile Practices for Software Development meet. The foundation of Agile is the Agile Manifesto for Software Development. Agile has been used for software development for a number of years, even prior to the creation of the Agile Manifesto in 2001. The success of Agile for software development projects has piqued interest in successfully employing Agile in many other fields. How can Agile practices be used for projects which are not software or IT in nature? This course will provide guidance on how Agile can be used beyond software development projects, including how it differs from traditional project management. The course also will provide an overview of the Agile Scrum framework, which is one of the most popular Agile methodologies used.
