I’ve studied the two major project management frameworks of PRINCE2 and PMBOK for many years, and in fact I’m a qualified practitioner in both. I’m also a qualified Professional Scrum Master (PSM I), which advocates for a much more compact team-focusses approach. And the best one to chose?
Agile Project Management(R) from the Agile Business Consortium, based on the Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM).
Why?
You get the best of both worlds: use of Scrum at the team level to build the solution in an incremental, iterative approach, and a lean wrapper of governance from PRINCE2 that adds the elements of project control missing from Scrum, eg basic design, business case, role of management.
Agile PM comes in a 3-day Foundation and a 2-day Practitioner format, and is my favourite course to teach, because it revolutionises how projects and products are run, and it transofrms how particpants approach their furture work.
There is a sister course, Agile Business Analysis, that works inside the DSDM method and helps traditional BAs migrate into an agile way of working. Great for any designers and BAs and almost as fun as AgilePM for me to teach.
Ask about getting some training when we next chat.
