What is AgilePM®?

The APMG-International AgilePM® certification addresses the needs of those who work in planning and transformation contexts and who need to be agile. Agile management or agile project management is an interactive method for defining requisites and creating the corresponding output for projects, typically in domains characterized by a strong need for interaction and flexibility (e.g. infrastructure technology but not only).
AgilePM training equips professionals with the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively implement agile principles and practices, making it a valuable asset in today's dynamic and ever-changing business landscape. Typical of agile approaches, AgilePM® works well in contexts where the requisites cannot be clearly and/or completely defined at the beginning of the initiative.

What is the latest version of AgilePM?

The latest version of AgilePM is AgilePM3, released in October 2024. This version brings significant updates to better support modern project teams, with new features, interactive learning modules, and a stronger focus on leadership and value delivery. AgilePM3 also integrates Scrum as the main approach for product management and aligns the framework with current trends, such as digital transformation.
Read more about the key features of AgilePM3 compared to the previous version, AgilePM v2, which will be retired starting July 2025.
