What Agile Project and Delivery Management is About

Agile Project and Delivery Management is a transformative certification program that goes beyond traditional project management approaches. This course provides a comprehensive understanding of how to effectively deliver value in complex, rapidly changing environments using Lean and Agile methodologies.

What makes this course distinctive is its focus on practical application of adaptive planning and value-driven delivery. You'll learn to navigate in complex system environments, understand various delivery modes, implement effective feedback loops and introduce meaningful  measures of success. 

Through hands-on exercises and real-world scenarios, you'll develop the skills to identify and manage dependencies, remove barriers, and foster high-performing teams while maintaining alignment with organizational goals.

The course emphasizes not just the 'what' but the 'how' of agile delivery management, equipping you with actionable techniques for stakeholder engagement, risk management, and continuous value delivery. You'll learn to move beyond single-framework thinking to adapt your approach based on context and needs.

Key Learning Areas

Managing the System

Learn to view organizations as complex adaptive systems and optimize for flow over resource utilization, creating environments where value delivery is maximized through system-level thinking and enabling constraints. Discover how to balance standardization with flexibility while navigating governance and compliance adaptively, ensuring the system supports rather than hinders value delivery.

Evolution of Management Role

Transform your understanding of modern management by moving from traditional command-and-control to servant leadership, mastering the art of creating environments where teams can self-organize while maintaining clear direction and purpose. Experience how to lead through influence rather than authority, creating psychological safety that enables high performance and innovation.

Measuring Success and Flow Metrics

Master the transition from traditional project metrics to value-based measurements that truly indicate delivery effectiveness, including flow metrics such as throughput, cycle time, and work in progress (WIP). Learn to create meaningful dashboards that drive improvement and support decision-making at all organizational levels.

Dependencies and Risk Management

Develop expertise in identifying and managing system dependencies while balancing risk with opportunity, creating proactive strategies that reduce coordination overhead and foster organizational collaboration. Learn to implement approaches that address dependencies without creating unnecessary bureaucracy.

Feedback Loops and Learning

Create and implement effective feedback mechanisms that drive continuous improvement and adaptation, linking customer feedback directly to delivery decisions while fostering a culture of experimentation and learning. Design shorter feedback cycles that enable quick adaptation to changing conditions.

Kickstarting New Initiatives

Master the art of launching new initiatives through effective chartering processes that align teams on purpose and outcomes while establishing robust feedback loops from day one. Learn to create adaptive roadmaps and release plans that balance clarity of direction with flexibility to respond to change.

Information Radiators and Visibility

Design and implement effective visual management systems that provide meaningful progress visualization while balancing transparency with information overload. Create information radiators that serve different audience needs and drive better decision-making.
