Maven expands course portfolio
As part of the commitment to maintaining its position as the leading Portfolio, Programme, Project, Risk and Change Management specialist, Maven is pleased to announce the expansion of its course portfolio to include Agile Project Management.
A new qualification has been created for project managers working in Agile project environments. Agile Project Management is certified and accredited by the APMG and was developed in partnership with the DSDM Consortium. The courses are based upon the tried and tested principles of DSDM Atern and were developed to work alongside more traditional approaches such as PRINCE2®. These new training courses aim to bring more structure and rigour to the quickly developing Agile market place that has now reached a tipping point in that most organisations are adopting agile in some form or another.
These courses are offered in partnership with Keith Richards Consulting (KRC). Originally concentrating on the IT sector, KRC became specialists in ‘Agile’ approaches such as DSDM (Dynamic Systems Development Method) which became the de facto standard for Rapid Application Development (RAD).
“Agile is growing in importance as a core qualification requirement for many project management roles –and not just IT project management” says Melanie Franklin, CEO at Maven. “As a leading provider of project management learning, we simply must offer the full portfolio to our clients and so we are delighted to have formed a partnership with KRC as they are specialists in their field, which fits perfectly with our strategic vision” says Melanie.
These courses are aimed at Project Managers who are either adding to their knowledge of traditional approaches such as PRINCE2® or who are operating in an Agile environment and need to be able to run projects in more complex and scalable situations.
