Frequently asked questions
The Agile framework is an iterative approach to project management that emphasizes flexibility, collaboration, and continuous improvement. It divides projects into small, manageable increments called sprints, ensuring faster delivery and adaptability to changing requirements.
Popular tools for Agile project management include Jira, Trello, and Asana. These tools help teams track tasks, visualize workflows, manage backlogs, and collaborate effectively in Agile environments.
The best Agile course depends on your goals. For foundational knowledge, the Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) course is excellent. For advanced skills, consider the PMI-Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) or Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) certifications.
