They\u2019ll have the opportunity to engage with their instructor and peers through discussion boards. The program is supplemented by two key textbooks: <em>Agile Practice Guide<\/em> from the Project Management Institute and <em>Agile Project Management: 2 Books in 1<\/em> by Sam Ryan.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Take this course as a bundle:<\/strong> The Agile Certificate Online Course can be completed at any point in the series, though we recommend taking it second. It complements the foundational principles taught in the Essentials course and will prepare you for questions on Agile topics found on the PMP exam. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Take this course as a standalone option:<\/strong> This course can serve as a valuable stand-alone course for learners interested in Agile methodologies, even if you are not pursuing PMI-ACP or PMP certification. Professionals in any industry can benefit from knowing Agile principles, which help organizations  improve team collaboration, accelerate product delivery and respond more effectively to changing customer needs and market conditions.<\/p>\n<div class=\"form-wrap inline bg-black mt-5 mb-5\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-lg-12 col-xl-5\">\n               <span class=\"header-alt border-gold txt-white\">Get Started Now<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"txt-white\">Request<br class=\"d-none d-xl-inline\"> Information<\/h2>\n<p class=\"section-intro mb-4\">To learn more about Purdue University&#8217;s <strong>online Project Management courses<\/strong> and <button class=\"download focus-interest\"><strong>download a free brochure<\/strong><\/button>, fill out this form.

It has many frameworks for implementation, but at its core, it is about being flexible, collaborative and efficient. Teams work in short cycles, or iterations, to develop small parts of a project over time. This approach allows teams to respond quickly to changes and continuously improve the product based on feedback. Agile works best for projects with shifting requirements and for those where not all requirements are known.\n<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"accord-heading\"><button>What are the benefits of completing this course with Purdue rather than learning about Agile myself?<\/button><\/h3>\n<div class=\"accord-content\">\n<p>The Purdue Agile Certificate Online Course is an instructor-led program, meaning you&#8217;ll benefit from having a subject matter expert available for guidance whenever you have a question or need further examples to aid in your comprehension.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the Agile program is a paced program, with assignments due on a weekly basis to keep you on track.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"accord-heading\"><button>What is Agile certification?<\/button><\/h3>\n<div class=\"accord-content\">\n<p>The Project Management Institute (PMI) offers an Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP)\u00ae certification.
