Training Methodology

The adaptive planning framework (APF) methodology, also known as adaptive planning management
(APM), is an agile project management methodology designed with the inevitability of change in
mind.

That means that using adaptive project framework methods, teams must try to anticipate the risks
and prepare for the unexpected in their plan. They need to understand that critical component is
constantly in flux and continuously re-evaluate results and decisions with these moving parts in
mind.

This requires extensive communication with all stakeholders and collaboration, similar to other agile
methodologies.

This instructor-led training develops planning and scheduling skills using simulators and role-playing.
