AgilePM guidance offers a practical and repeatable methodology that achieves an ideal balance between the standards, rigour and visibility required for good project management, and the fast pace, change and empowerment provided by agile.

The focus is on developing solutions incrementally enabling project teams to react effectively to changing requirements, whilst empowering project personnel and encouraging increased collaboration and ownership.

The AgilePM guidance and supporting training courses explain how to lay the foundations for successful agile projects and manage an agile project from start to finish. 

Additionally, the new AgilePM version 3 update introduces Scrum practices as well as project simulations that reinforce Agile-thinking and its applications.

Foundation Examination

The Foundation Examination tests the general understanding of the fundamental principles of Agile Project Management. This is intended for those who intent to work within a project environment and who need to know the terminology used and some of the theory behind the practice. It is also a preamble to the Practitioner qualifications.

The Foundation Examination is closed book with short answer and multi-choice questions. There are 50 questions. Total time available is 40 minutes. Pass mark is 50%.  For a candidate to proceed to take the Practitioner level qualification, they will need to pass their Foundation Examination

Practitioner Examination
The Practitioner Examination requires a comprehensive understanding of the principles and theory of the Agile Project Management handbook. 

The Practitioner Examination is an open book and scenario based with objective style questions. This is a 2 hour objective test examination. This booklet contains the Project Scenario upon which this exam paper is based. All questions are contained within the Question Booklet

All information provided within a question must only be applied to that question. All question items gain one mark for a correct answer. There is no negative marking. For all question items, if more or less than the required number of responses are given, the answer scores zero. No partial marks are awarded for any question item.

This includes Multiple Response question items, where a mark is gained only if the two required responses are identified. Each of the four questions is worth 15 marks, giving a maximum of 60 marks in the paper. The pass mark is 50% (30 marks). Within each question the syllabus area to which the question refers is clearly stated

When booking on one of our Agile Project Management courses, delegates need to be aware, that they are expected to do between six and ten hours (depending on the learning style) of pre-course reading. This will include: review of the Agile Project Management manual and of a case study. Additionally, during the course, delegates are expected to do two to three hours of evening work. This will include: review of day's training, practice of examination questions and an overview of the subsequent day's training. 

Raj Khanna Associates' training is focused on the learning and not teaching. Therefore, unlike majority of other providers having a block of three or five consecutive training days, we would we spread the sessions over 2 weeks, allowing our participants to:

• Have an opportunity to make appropriate notes and digest their learning, before moving on to the next element. All our sessions are recorded, and participants can review them again to suit their learning styles.
• Apply the learning to the way their organisation and change initiatives are being managed, including their personal role and responsibility. Additionally, the participants can understand the different roles and documentations they might come across.
• Increase their chances of success in their examinations.
