Agile Project Management Slides

For schools that are forward-thinking enough to try an Agile approach to project management, these slides are your haven for any teacher-training you wish to do on the matter.

As a Certified ScrumMaster® (CSM®) and project management trainer, I created these slides to form the basis of my popular workshops on Agile, which I run for big organisations all over the world. Please feel free to Google my name to check my credentials: Richard James Rogers.

This resource contains ten PowerPoint files, designed to be delivered in sequence (they are numbered for easy reference). They are fully editable. At most, you will need to edit the ‘About Me’ slide in the first presentation and, maybe, the titles (slightly) for the others.
