AgileDS® is ideal for project managers working in a digital services environment.

Launched in 2019, the AgileDS® Foundation course offers the best of both worlds from the Government Digital Service (GDS) and AgilePM.

It’ll allow you to develop a consistent approach and common language, plus a skilled workforce for the successful design, delivery and evolution of digital services, using guidance that’s aligned with GDS’s Service Manual.

The course’s syllabus and exam are based on the Agile Digital Services Handbook that emerged from our work in bringing together valuable learning and experiences from both GDS and AgilePM.

Alternatively you can find a trainer at APMG International
