Course Summary:  Develop a very high-impact and adaptive approach to implementing Agile and Scrum projects based on a deeper understanding of Agile/Scrum principles and values that can be adapted to any project and business environment!

Agile training is often limited to the "mechanics" of how to implement Agile and Scrum and that can often lead to weak and ineffective implementation.  An adaptive approach that is based on fitting the approach to the nature of the project and to the business environment requires a deeper understanding of the principles behind Agile and Scrum.

This course is designed to provide Project Managers, Product Owners, Scrum Masters, and Agile Teams with a deeper understanding of principles and values behind Agile and Scrum and how they can be applied in real-world project situations to develop a high performance Agile approach that is adaptive to any project and business environment.

Special Note:

This course is part of an overall curriculum that is designed around helping students develop the skills required for a high-impact Agile Project Management role.  Most students will want to take the complete curriculum rather than individual courses.  The complete curriculum should be taken in the following order:

  1. Agile PM 101 - Learn the Truth About Agile versus Waterfall

  2. Agile PM 102 - What's the Future of Agile Project Management?

  3. Agile PM 201 - Understanding Agile at a Deeper Level

  4. Agile PM 202 - Introduction to Agile Project Management

  5. Agile PM 301 - Mastering Agile Project Management

  6. Agile PM 401 - Advanced Agile Project Management

  7. Agile PM 402 - Enterprise-level Agile Project Management

Students who complete the entire curriculum of all seven courses shown above will receive a signed certificate of completion from the Agile Project Management Academy.  The complete set of seven courses will also meet the 21 hours of training required for PMI-ACP certification.

Lot of information (seemed that the author wanted to justify the creation of another Udemy course related to SCRUM by including unnecessary data like the dates in which different methodologies were created, excesive and large quizzes and several quotes from different philosophers). Thus I would say that although it offers good information, it does not follow a Lean Agile approach itself.

By Vasile Mihail Alupei on 9/30/2024

Excellent level of details provided. The course structure is clear and the delivery is well supported by the graphic elements in the presentation. I am especially happy with the Agile to Lean connection explanations, coming from a manufacturing engineering background, as it makes better sense overall. Agile is no longer an alternative, but an adaptation of previous methodologies and principles.

By Mohammed Adil Baig on 7/26/2022

The teaching technique of compare and contrast makes it really easy to understand. Adding to that, the moderators apt use of examples from real-world scenarios makes it more understandable and relatable. The quiz's, while being pretty straight forward, do a great job in refreshing the key points from the discussion. Would definitely take up and even recommend more courses with same format and moderator.

By Anonymized User on 4/22/2022

Great course that covers a lot of Agile related material that goes beyond Agile, such as lean and XP. I like the non-prescriptive approach to fitting Agile to meet the needs of each situation, and the instructor does a good job of explaining things. I with the real world example was more detailed. It seemed more like a rehash of the previous material of how to apply Agile, but to a real project. A more in-depth scenario with real life challenges, surprises, deal breaks, and how they were overcome would be more meaningful, but within the scope of a 5 hour class it was fine. I just don't think it taught me anything new. The quizzes were better done than most, but I didn't get much out of the questions that were all about how to choose the most related principle since they were highly subjective and I didn't really learn anything by trying to answer them. Overall - great course that I recommend to others. I found it more useful than my previous training in similar areas.

By Antonio Carlos Figueiredo Rodrigues on 11/29/2020

An excellent course I found better than 401, I liked the idea of the theoretical example of an agile project. Really very comprehensive, an observation is that the audio of some videos in the final stage, from section 7 and above, has distortions, or repetitions, nothing that prevents the understanding, but a point to improve.

Great course

By Reshmi Vellapulli on 11/14/2020

This is a very good course touching all the important principles one must know about agile.
Well organized and test questions in between each topics helped to check the knowledge in each course.
