Ottmann & Partner's methods

This module provides a fast and efficient introduction to agile project management methods. We take you through the project, step by step, from planning to successful implementation! Our trainers provide the theoretical input and ensure that you can transfer project management theory to your everyday work in projects. The course covers alternating workshops, presentations and discussions to maximise interaction and intensive exchange between the participants and trainer. It makes learning an interesting experience! Your course materials provide you with valuable assistance as a reference work in your everyday project work.

Our Tip

Control your fixed-price projects with hybrid project management! Many fixed-price projects end up with overextended budgets and a negative contribution margin. Agile project management stand the test as a controlling system outstanding. Even so costumers like to use the classic project management with milestones and fixed schedules. HQLabs connects both approaches by the integration of jira. Get information here: www.hqlabs.de.

Also feasible in a remote way

Please note that we can offer this training as remote training also. 
Since some costs are omitted in the case of remote trainings (e.g. renting a seminar room), we grant you a discount of 100€ on the training, if you decide to take it remotly.
Just get in touch with us to discuss the feasibility and scheduling - as usually depending on the number of participants - of the desired training.
Also available as an in-house course!
