Welcome to Northern Project Management

Scrum and Scrum Master

The techniques used in Scrum are not new - but they do require a "new" approach, attitude and mindset to the traditional way of thinking about product development. "Easy to understand but difficult to master" is one of the opening lines of the ‘Scrum guide’ (© Ken Schwaber and Jeff Sutherland - Nov 2020)- and it is this skill of 'mastery' that Northern Project Management can help you with.

Our key workshops include:

• Scrum Workshop - 1 or 2 day workshop to help you understand the 'inner working of scrum'
• Scrum Master certification- a 2 day workshop culminating in a globally recognized certification (accredited by the Agile Business Consortium - one of the original pioneers in the agile world)
• Product Owner Workshop – 1 or 2 day workshop covering who the Product Owner is, what they do when maintaining a Product Backlog and how to write effective user stories and requirements.

We can also provide tailor-made training for your needs.

Whether you are 'just curious' or are in need of training, Northern Project Management can help.

Agile Project Management

A widely misunderstood term; ‘agile’. It can mean different things to different people (from ‘remote working’ to being ‘only useful’ in IT development). However, 'Agile' Project Management (AgilePM^®) is a well practised and proven methodology for flexible and fast paced delivery of value for organisations...which include - among others - marketing, construction, finance, engineering and not just in software development.

Whichever field your business is in, Northern Project Management can help you and your projects in delivering business value and ROI with a guarantee on both being on time and within budget.

Among our workshops are:

• AgilePM Foundation - 2 day workshop aimed at both project managers and team leaders to understand the Agile principles, philosophy and mindset.
• AgilePM Practitioner - 2 day workshop taking delegates to the next of analysing and refining agile, including implementing the personal skills needed in an Agile enviornment.
