Northeastern University’s Graduate Certificate in Agile Project Management is designed to empower students to explore agile principles and practices and remain up-to-date with current trends in the agile framework. The increasingly important role of agile practitioners and managers is becoming clear as agile business development processes are being adopted by major companies because of its high degree of success in achieving improved time to market, reducing costs, and increasing overall customer satisfaction.

The program in agile project management is led by highly credentialed faculty members that are agile practitioners with decades of experience in helping companies successfully implement agile in their organizations.

Through online courses, our agile project management curriculum offers students an opportunity to develop a strong framework and understanding of the role of agile management, an understanding of how an agile approach to managing projects can deliver value to the organization, a personal leadership strategy for success as an agile practitioner, and an agile evaluation plan to measure success.
