What This Free Agile Project Management Course Covers
Agile project management is now the standard approach for software, product, and cross-functional teams. This free course gives you a structured introduction to agile - covering the Scrum framework, core principles, and every practical tool you need to plan and run a real agile project.
You will learn how to take a product vision and turn it into a working roadmap, build and prioritize a product backlog with user stories, plan and run sprints, and track project progress. Every major Scrum role, artifact, and ceremony is covered so you finish the course ready to lead an agile team - not just understand the theory.
The course also covers risk management, quality management, and HR practices specific to agile - areas most beginner courses skip entirely. You leave with downloadable templates ready to use on real projects.
The course ends with a full project example where you apply every tool covered, step by step. No experience required - this course is built for complete beginners and for experienced waterfall project managers who want to add agile to their skill set.
