Overview

So many companies use Agile project management to quickly adapt to today's dynamic business landscape. Traditional project management approaches often struggle to evolve at pace with market and customer demands. Agile project management enables companies to navigate complexity, embrace change, and deliver value more effectively. Its ability to foster innovation, responsiveness, and collaboration makes it a strategic imperative for businesses seeking sustainable growth and success. 

With the assistance of ASU Faculty who have worked in leadership, integrative models, and information systems for decades, this certificate helps you master the principles of Agile and how to successfully lead an Agile project management team. The initial courses create a foundation through an exploration of Agile principles. Then learners can expect to gain in-depth understanding of the Scrum framework and the Scrum workflow. Towards the end of the certificate, you’ll begin to navigate Agile and Waterfall integration, while gaining the confidence to solve communication and collaboration challenges that may arise on your Agile team.

This program is also great for people across an organization. Ensuring your employees are trained in Agile project management means you can get to market faster, mitigate risk, increase transparency and communication, and build a culture of continuous improvement. Your employees will learn so much more than Agile project management.
