This course is designed to equip learners with intermediate to advanced Agile competencies essential for delivering high-impact outcomes in dynamic environments. Through a structured progression across four key modules, participants will apply Agile release and iteration planning techniques, evaluate decision-making models within collaborative teams, and lead reflective practices such as retrospectives and Extreme Programming (XP) iterations.

The course emphasizes both strategic and tactical dimensions of Agile: from Lean thinking and technical practices to stakeholder engagement, risk mitigation, and the use of actionable metrics. Learners will gain the ability to synthesize Agile governance principles with modern leadership practices to foster sustainable delivery and high-performing teams. Each lesson encourages learners to apply, analyze, and evaluate Agile concepts using real-world scenarios, reinforced by practice and graded assessments. By the end of the course, learners will be equipped to not only execute Agile processes but also to mentor teams, optimize value delivery, and lead Agile transformations with confidence.

This course equips learners with practical skills to identify, set up, manage, and integrate agile project workflows using Pivotal Tracker—an industry-standard project management tool designed for agile development teams. Learners will demonstrate how to create user accounts and projects, construct and categorize user stories, and organize tasks using collaborative features like panels, labels, epics, and workspaces.

Through hands-on walkthroughs and structured lessons, students will analyze project data using built-in analytics, interpret team velocity, and evaluate integrations with platforms such as GitHub, Jira, and time-tracking systems. The course is ideal for beginners and intermediate professionals looking to apply agile practices in real-world software or product development environments using a single, unified platform. By the end of this course, learners will be able to: • Set up and configure a Pivotal Tracker environment tailored to team and project needs. • Construct and prioritize user stories and features using agile methodology. • Apply real-time project organization tools to enhance team collaboration and visibility. • Analyze productivity metrics to improve team performance. • Integrate third-party tools to streamline development workflows.

This comprehensive course is designed to empower software development professionals to apply, manage, and evaluate Agile-based workflows using Team Foundation Server (TFS). Through hands-on instruction and structured modules, learners will gain the skills to create and manage work items, configure source control using both TFVC and Git, and implement automated build and release pipelines.

The course also explores in-depth test management using test plans, shared steps, and result tracking. Participants will learn how to monitor project health through dashboards and summaries, connect Visual Studio to TFS environments, and streamline collaborative development across teams. By the end of this course, learners will be able to effectively construct, organize, analyze, and evaluate development processes using TFS to ensure project visibility, accountability, and continuous delivery excellence.

This comprehensive course equips learners with the knowledge and skills to analyze, design, and implement Agile project planning and stakeholder management strategies. Beginning with foundational Agile concepts and the PMI-ACP framework, participants will interpret the Agile Manifesto, apply its principles, and evaluate diverse frameworks including Scrum. Learners will develop competencies in engaging stakeholders, managing expectations, and fostering collaboration through effective communication and requirements gathering.

Progressing to advanced topics, the course guides learners through constructing Agile charters, defining project visions, establishing scope, and applying release planning tools. Participants will prioritize and estimate backlog items, forecast using velocity, and track progress with visual tools like burn-up and burn-down charts. Concluding with iteration kickoff best practices, the course empowers learners to implement value-driven delivery processes, manage dependencies, and optimize team workflow for continuous improvement in Agile environments.

This comprehensive course empowers learners to analyze, apply, and evaluate Agile principles, methods, and leadership practices for real-world project success. Covering core frameworks such as Scrum, Extreme Programming (XP), Lean, and Kanban, participants will differentiate between methodologies to select the right fit for diverse project contexts. Through interactive modules on iteration planning, product delivery, team performance, and scaling strategies, learners will develop the skills to facilitate collaboration, resolve conflicts, and adapt Agile for enterprise-level transformation.

Special topics explore emerging Agile trends, industry best practices, and the complete PMI-ACP® certification process, enabling learners to demonstrate professional readiness and validate their expertise across multiple Agile methodologies. By the end of the course, participants will have the ability to design, lead, and optimize Agile teams and processes, ensuring sustainable delivery and continuous improvement in dynamic environments.
