Agile Project Management Program

An Agile Project Manager (also called an APM) plans, leads, organizes and motivates Agile project teams. The APM has a vast range of responsibilities: Helping the team achieve a high level of performance and quality, holding teams accountable for their work, removing obstacles, and mentoring less experienced team members. Project managers manage the scope, schedule, and budget of a project while also providing the leadership and controls necessary to enable business change.

    "Enrolling with DCA has been beyond rewarding for me. Being someone who transitioned into tech from a totally unrelated field, I can now boast of the confidence, skills and expertise needed to excel in this field since enrolling for the Scrum Master and Agile Delivery Manager training at DCA. The courses delivery from the various coaches who are always available to provide learning support, hands-on training on various collaborative tools and learning resources made available to students to study at their own time, are a few benefits of enrolling on DCA. I would recommend DCA again and again. Many thanks to DCA!!!."
