How to Get It Up and Running (Including Agile)
Whether you are new to project management or looking to strengthen your foundations, this intensive 5-day programme provides a practical, structured and highly engaging introduction to the discipline. Combining classic project management frameworks with modern agile methodologies, the course equips participants with the tools, techniques and confidence to launch, manage and deliver projects effectively.
