The British Academy for Training and Development offers a comprehensive PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) Course designed to offer attendees with a deep understanding of agile principles and practical tools across the agile methodologies.

This course covers all important aspects of agile project success. It will impart knowledge and provide field experience in agile principles and mindset, such as customer collaboration, flexibility, and team empowerment. The course highlights value-driven delivery to achieve maximum business value by effective prioritisation and delivery strategies early and often.

Attendees will look at stakeholder engagement and learn to build strong relationships with stakeholders to actively involve them throughout the project life cycle. The module on team performance discusses agile-team dynamics to encourage collaboration, accountability, and self-organisation for maximum productivity.

Also, the course teaches adaptive planning to enable professionals to manage changes through progressive elaboration and frequent feedback loops. A critical element of the course is problem detection and resolution, wherein the student identifies risks and issues early through agile metrics and responds with strategies for continuous improvement.

The training will underscore the need for continuous improvement (product, process, people) with the application of agile retrospectives and feedback tools to ensure constant growth and enhancement in all spheres of the project.
