AgilePM Foundation certification: the complete guide

What is AgilePM?

AgilePM (Agile Project Management) is an approach that reconciles agility with project governance: delivering iteratively while keeping control of time, budget and quality. It builds on the DSDM framework. The AgilePM Foundation certification, awarded by APMG International, attests understanding of the principles, lifecycle and roles of this approach.

It answers a concrete need: many organisations want agility without giving up the project framework. AgilePM bridges the two, which explains its value to project managers.

Who is the AgilePM Foundation for?

The AgilePM Foundation is for people who run projects and want to bring in agility without losing the framework.

Project managers moving to agility
Project team members in agile environments
PMO and portfolio leads
Transformation consultants wanting a governable agile framework
