PM4R Agile

The PM4R Agile Certification for Development Project Management was designed and organized by the Inter-American Institute for Economic and Social Development (INDES) as part of the Project Management for Results (PM4R) initiative of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB). This initiative is aimed at enhancing the competencies of teams involved in development and social impact projects.

It is expected that the participants in this training will strengthen their abilities in project planning and management. The goal is to ensure that the programs or projects under their responsibility are executed with a focus on results and the application of proven agile project management practices and tools.

The course begins with an introductory webinar and preliminary activities, followed by a 5-week virtual phase consisting of 5 learning steps. These steps are further broken down into units, and their contents are reinforced with a series of mandatory individual and group activities, which participants will complete with the guidance of a tutor. Once this virtual phase is completed, each team is required to prepare a group assignment, which should be presented in the final week of the course.

The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), as part of its "open knowledge" practice, provides course materials, methodology, the online learning platform, and a list of certified trainers free of charge to individuals interested in taking the PM4R (Project Management for Results) course.
