Agile project management with certification
Using the Agile On Time method, you will learn how to quickly create value for customers while ensuring a high level of well-being within your team. The method is designed for projects of all sizes and works for both geographically dispersed and co-located teams.
The course focuses on how to facilitate and execute agile projects from start to finish, as well as how to adapt the method to different projects. You will receive a wide range of practical and tested tools that have been refined through real-world application. Each tool contributes in its own way to ensuring successful project delivery. The method is based on Agile PM™, the globally leading approach to agile project management, developed by the Agile Business Consortium.
The training is practical and designed to follow the natural flow of a project. During the course, we will work with:
- Agile fundamentals and their applications
- Which agile frameworks are designed for which purposes, and how they can coexist
- Structuring, framing, and organizing the project
- Gathering user needs
- Facilitating specification workshops
- Facilitating two-level planning – for the entire development process and the upcoming sprint/iteration
- Facilitating the development process through sprints/iterations and linking models and theory to your own practice
Teaching Approach
The course follows a blended learning approach. Before the course starts, you will be asked to watch approximately three hours of instructional videos, which guide you through the entire project lifecycle. This video-based preparation allows the course time to focus on hands-on exercises, case work, and relating concepts to participants' daily work and reflections.
All training is designed to be conducted online, offering two key advantages:
- You will learn how to execute projects online throughout the course.
- You can choose to attend either in person or online. We use high-end conference equipment to ensure an excellent experience for online participants.
Free E-learning

Really good, short and intense. I feel very prepared for the future. The materials were super accessible, and the teaching was empathetic and professionally executed.
The good mix of practice and theory meant that the material was well-established. Even after 25 years as a project manager, there were new insights to be gained. Great course.
