This stage covers various Agile management tools, strategies, and techniques.

Each of these two stages concludes with an internationally recognized certification. These certifications validate the participant’s knowledge and skills in Agile program management, helping professionals advance their careers and develop effective program management skills based on Agile principles.

In conclusion, the Agile Programme Management (AgilePgM) Training is designed to ensure alignment and coordination between Agile methodologies and program management.
