Project Management: Agile, Scrum & PMP

Posted on: 2nd October 2026

Instructor: N/A • Language: N/A

Compare Agile, Scrum, and PMP project management approaches, covering principles, practices, roles, and when to use each.

Description

Methodologies get applied out of habit rather than fit, which is how teams end up forcing a framework onto work it does not suit. This course covers the three main approaches, explaining what each actually is, how they relate, where they overlap, and how to choose based on the project, team, and environment.

This Course Offers

  • Project management fundamentals and how different approaches structure and deliver work
  • Agile principles, frameworks, tools, and techniques, plus how Agile differs from Scrum rather than treating them as the same
  • Scrum roles, artefacts, events, and practices explained, and how they sit within an Agile way of working
  • PMP related concepts including process groups, knowledge areas, tools, and techniques
  • Comparison across all three approaches, covering overlaps, differences, strengths, limitations, and how practices can be combined

Why We Love This Course

  1. No prior project management experience is required, so it works as an introduction.
  2. It separates Agile from Scrum clearly, which is a distinction many people never quite resolve.
  3. The comparison focus helps you choose an approach based on context rather than familiarity.
  4. At one hour across ten lessons, it is a concise overview that gives you a foundation before pursuing certification.

Project delivery improves when the approach matches the work, and knowing the options is what makes that choice deliberate. Do you want to keep applying whatever method your last team used, or choose one that fits? Enrollment is open, and no prior experience is needed.

Course Eligibility

  • This course is perfect for aspiring project managers and professionals who work on projects.
  • It suits project team members, team leaders, and managers.
  • Professionals working in Agile or Scrum environments, and those considering certification, will find the comparison useful before committing to a specific path.

Course Requirements

  • No prior project management experience is required.
  • A basic understanding of workplace projects is helpful but not essential.
  • A computer with internet access is needed to follow the lessons and access the downloadable resource.
