Course Title:
Managing Iterative Projects

Duration: 3 days

Course Overview
The course is aimed at those who need to manage iterative development projects. It starts by describing what we mean by iterative development and why this is so different from our traditional waterfall lifecycle projects. From that point it describes the various activities that have to be undertaken and by whom, so that the project is planned and controlled in the most effective manner.
