The curriculum covers the fundamentals of Agile before moving into "Scrum 101." You will then learn about implementing Scrum in practice and applying Agile within an organization. This includes understanding concepts like user stories and product roadmaps, which are key to Agile product development. The course also teaches how to coach an Agile team and help them solve problems.
After completing this 20-hour, 2-minute course, learners can explain the Agile project management approach and its underlying principles. You will be able to discuss the pillars and events of Scrum, and understand how to guide a team using this framework. The skills you gain include coaching, problem-solving, and working with project management software, preparing you for team-oriented roles in Agile environments.
Who is this course for?
This Agile Project Management course is designed for beginners. It is the fifth course in the Google Project Management Certificate program, and the provider recommends completing courses in order as content builds on earlier lessons. While it provides a strong foundation in Agile and Scrum, it focuses specifically on these methodologies rather than traditional project management approaches like Waterfall. If you are new to project management, this course offers a solid start in modern, flexible project methods.
