Course Description
Agile project management is one of the most in-demand skills for project managers, team leads, and anyone who wants to move up into a leadership role. This course gives you a practical, structured introduction to agile - covering core principles, the Scrum framework, and every key tool you need to run a real project.
You will learn how to take a product vision and turn it into a working roadmap, build and prioritize a product backlog with user stories, plan and run sprints, and track project progress. Every major Scrum role, artifact, and ceremony is covered so you finish the course ready to lead an agile team - not just understand the theory.
