Agile project management allows running projects in changing and uncertain environments. Originally developed in the IT sector, agile project management is now widely used across various fields to respond flexibly and effectively to evolving conditions.

This one-day workshop introduces participants to the core ideas and principles of agile project management. The workshop offers the opportunity to use specific tools in practice to better understand the agile project management approach by using these applications. Additionally, you’ll explore IT tools such as Jira and Trello. Beyond theoretical input, the workshop emphasizes practical application through hands-on exercises, enabling participants to actively engage and apply what they learn.

The workshop will also provide a better understanding of SCRUM as a framework in the agile cosmos and its specifics.

After the workshop participants will have the opportunity to further explore the workshop contents through a provided podcast and a topic-specific GPT, allowing for independent learning.
