Agile Programme Management (AgilePgM®) – Virtual Classroom

AgilePgM® is a programme management framework for delivering business transformation iteratively while keeping a strong focus on:

• Programme vision and benefits realisation
• Governance and decision-making at scale
• Stakeholder alignment across multiple workstreams
• Monitoring, control, and risk management without slowing delivery

Programme vs project:

Projects deliver specific outputs; programmes coordinate multiple projects to deliver strategic outcomes and benefits. AgilePgM® is built for that programme-level challenge.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

• Explain the AgilePgM® programme lifecycle and how key products fit together Use-case: Create a shared “programme map” so leaders, PMO, and delivery teams understand what good governance looks like at each stage.
• Create an Agile programme plan that supports incremental delivery and benefits realisation Use-case: Build a benefits-led roadmap that shows value delivery over time and supports safe reprioritisation.
• Apply governance, monitoring and control to keep an Agile programme on track (including risk management) Use-case: Set up lightweight controls, risk routines, and reporting that protect pace while improving leadership confidence.
• Communicate effectively across programme teams and stakeholders to maintain visibility and alignment Use-case: Improve stakeholder engagement and reduce last-minute escalations through consistent communications and clarity on decisions.
• Define roles, responsibilities and stakeholder strategies that support collaboration and delivery at scale Use-case: Reduce bottlenecks by clarifying accountabilities, decision rights, and escalation paths across workstreams.

Benefits for delegates

• Build a deeper, practical understanding of Agile in a programme context, and learn how to apply programme management techniques to run Agile programmes effectively.
• Understand how leadership and management approaches change in Agile programmes compared with traditional environments, and learn how to adapt your style to suit the situation.
• Strengthen trust and collaboration across stakeholders, while improving transparency so everyone can see progress, risks, and priorities.
• Blend Agile delivery with established governance practices to stay aligned as business needs evolve.
• Support incremental, iterative benefits delivery by encouraging active stakeholder involvement, using feedback loops, and applying appropriate controls.

Benefits for organisations

• Establish a consistent, repeatable approach to delivering Agile programmes that can include both Agile and non-Agile projects and activities.
• Accelerate transformation while managing cost and risk through frequent validation of outcomes, benefits, and alignment to business strategy.
• Integrate smoothly with existing organisational methods and frameworks (for example PRINCE2®, MSP®, AgilePM®) as well as quality and audit requirements.
• Improve programme oversight, visibility, and decision-making, increasing confidence in delivery across complex corporate environments.
• Adopt a proven framework rather than creating and maintaining a bespoke approach from scratch.
• Improve communication and control through just-in-time planning, without undermining agreed budgets, timelines, or the overall programme vision.
