4.912 ratings at Coursera

Overview

Apply Agile Project Management practices to improve planning, collaboration, stakeholder engagement, team leadership, estimation, and continuous improvement. This intermediate-level course guides you through essential Agile concepts and practical techniques that support value-driven project delivery.

You will begin by exploring Agile roles, Iteration Zero, planning techniques, Definition of Done, Planning Poker, and value-based prioritization. Next, you'll learn how to identify and engage stakeholders, align expectations, communicate ROI, and use pre-project activities to support successful Agile initiatives. The course then focuses on building empowered Agile teams through servant leadership, communication strategies, motivation theories, conflict resolution, and team collaboration. Finally, you'll apply Agile estimation methods, Earned Value Management (EVM), risk analysis, forecasting, and continuous improvement practices to enhance predictability and project performance.

Designed for professionals with a foundational understanding of Agile, this course combines quizzes, case-based scenarios, and real-world examples to reinforce practical application. By the end of the course, you'll be able to evaluate Agile planning approaches, strengthen stakeholder collaboration, lead high-performing teams, apply estimation and EVM techniques, and implement continuous improvement practices that support effective value delivery.
