When tackling an Agile project, you need to consider key elements of your organization and its readiness for Agile. This course introduces you to the importance of change management in Agile environments, key differentiators between Agile and Waterfall, and how backlog management relates to change. Then you'll explore the basic process for managing change, how to identify and remove impediments, approaches to take in addressing impediments, and the process for managing impediments. Then you'll learn why vendor management is an important competency for all project managers, considerations for collaborating and integrating with vendors in an Agile environment, increment delivery, release planning, and release iteration. Finally, you'll discover project closeout tasks and how to transition a product to operations, benefits realization, and the organizational approach to Agile. This course was originally created by Global Knowledge (GK).
