Agile Training
In the late 1990’s several software development methodologies began to get increasing public attention. Each had a different combination of old ideas, new ideas, and transmuted old ideas. But they all emphasized close collaboration between the programmer team and business experts; face-to-face communication (as more efficient than written documentation); frequent delivery of new deployable business value; tight, self-organizing teams; and ways to craft the code and the team such that the inevitable requirements churn was not a crisis.
Project Management Training
PMI® has recognized Agile practices as complimentary to the PMBOK® as evidenced by the official PMI Agile Community of Practice. On April 29, 2009 Ken Schwaber (co-inventor of Scrum) stated that the best ScrumMasters are typically experienced project managers and that Scrum + PMBOK is the best way to manage projects. In April of 2008, Dr. Jeff Sutherland (the other co-inventor of Scrum) also stated that Scrum + PMBOK is the best way to manage projects.
