Developed by APMG in partnership with the Agile Business Consortium, Agile Project Management takes the principles of Agile software development and adapts them to the project management environment by applying a process-based methodology to define the project management lifecycle.
The Agile Project Management approach focuses on developing products and services incrementally in order to be able to cope easily with change and stay on track with business needs. It empowers team members to work together to deliver products that meet business and customer needs. The approach is also supported by eight core principles for project delivery, which underline the need to communicate clearly and provide business value.
AgilePM® is based on the DSDM (Dynamic Systems Development Method) Agile Project Framework, a high-level methodology for a corporate project environment using Agile. One of the world’s most popular Agile approaches, it was created by the DSDM Consortium, which has since rebranded as the Agile Business Consortium. APMG and the Agile Business Consortium launched AgilePM® in 2010. Version 2 of AgilePM® was launched by APMG in 2015. The maturity and proven capability of DSDM and AgilePM® makes them particularly suitable for a corporate project environment, where there is little room for risk or failure, and businesses need a methodology which they can depend on.

I have my Agile qualification, what should I study next?
There are a number of routes available to you once you have gained AgilePM® certification. If you wish to learn about a more traditional project management approach which can be used to work alongside AgilePM®, you could gain PRINCE2® certification. If you are familiar with PRINCE2 already and would like to understand how it can work with Agile, you could look at the PRINCE2 Agile® certification. Alternatively, if you would like to explore Agile more, the Scrum certification provides a framework for using Agile practices in a less traditional, less rigid way.
How do I get my Agile qualification?
AgilePM® qualifications are gained by sitting exams. All of our Agile courses include the relevant exam. Alternatively, if you are self-studying, APMG offer public exam sessions at centres around the world.
What books are available to help me study Agile?
We recommend the official Agile Project Management Handbook v2.0, which is published by the DSDM Consortium and designed to complement the Foundation and Practitioner training courses. The book also works beyond training as a general resource on the Agile Project Management methodology and how it works, making it a useful reference tool for anybody using or looking to use AgilePM® practices in their day to day career.
