International Institute for Learning Launches Agile Development and Project Management Course
Newest Course Provides Introduction to the Agile Approach and Explores Relation to Project Management Practices
New York, NY (PRWEB) June 5, 2009 -- International Institute for Learning, Inc. (IIL), a global leader in professional training in the areas of Project, Program, and Portfolio Management, Business Analysis, Microsoft® Office Project and Project Server, PRINCE2®, and Lean Six Sigma, today announced the launch of its newest course, Agile Development and Project Management, further expanding the company's broad portfolio of learning solutions.
As IIL's first offering to touch upon Agile development, the course will provide an introduction to the Agile approach and will explore how it can help project managers do more with less and enhance their traditional development and project management philosophies and practices.
"For projects involving a significant software component, traditional project managers are increasingly being asked to lead and work with Agile-trained teams," said E. LaVerne Johnson, Founder, President, and CEO of IIL. "It is imperative that these project managers learn about the principles and practices of Agile development in order to be truly effective team members. IIL's latest course will provide the introduction needed to successfully navigate the dual environment of Agile development and project management."
The concept of Agile software development incorporates the principles of a number of software development and quality management methods that are based on speeding the time to market. The Agile development approach enables cycle time reductions through lower process overhead and more efficient and responsive practices.
Upon completion of the course, participants will understand the basic Agile approach and the various methods for achieving agility and will be able to apply selected Agile practices to specific software development situations.
For a limited time, IIL will be offering the course at a special introductory rate in the company's live, virtual classroom environment. For more information or to enroll, please visit the IIL Virtual Classroom Schedule.
IIL's mission is to embody its three key values - Intelligence, Integrity, and Innovation - in empowering individuals and organizations to advance their skills and abilities, increase collective knowledge and capabilities, and operate more efficiently and effectively.
