Project Management for Software Development Training
Level: Foundation
Rating:
4.74/5 Based on 98 Reviews
Get to grips with Project Management, Waterfall Delivery and Agile Delivery. Learn the fundamentals of successful project management whatever the delivery approach.
This course captures current thinking but also sits at a junction between disciplines and perceptions. Software development is the space where waterfall and agile collide. The modern, complete project manager needs to be just as much at home gathering the information for a business case as she would be engaging with stakeholders to explain the commitment that they need to make to support delivery of stories in a sprint. She must understand the value of good project management as a facilitator and enabler to successful product delivery, whatever the approach taken to delivery.
A simple, practical course that charts a path through practical hints and tips on how to get the job done. Only enough theory to justify the practical ideas presented.
Key Features of this Software Development Project Management Training:
- After-course instructor coaching benefit
You Will Learn How To:
- Deliver successful software projects.
- Blend effective project management with both Agile and Structured delivery approaches.
- Compare common project management techniques with those championed by agile and waterfall delivery.
