Advanced Product Delivery launches ground-breaking courses worldwide, providing businesses with essential tools
Advanced Product Delivery (APD), is launching a series of Scrum courses in London, United States and the Netherlands to help businesses improve the way they build and present their products and services.
The courses will help delegates avoid the pitfalls that derail an alarming number of projects at businesses across the world.
A recent IBM study revealed that only 40 per cent of projects meet their schedule, budget, and quality goals. Another study, by McKinsey & Co in conjunction with the University of Oxford, found that, on average, large IT projects run 45 per cent over budget and 7 per cent over time yet still fall 56 per cent below their value expectations. And 17 per cent of large IT projects fail so badly, they threaten the existence of the company.
VersionOne’s 10th annual State of Agile report said that scaling Scrum is the most effective and popular Agile methodologies used.

Editors’ note
Scrum is a management and
control process that cuts through complexity to focus on building software that
meets business needs. It enables management iteratively and teams to assess
requirements and technologies and deliver working software, incrementally and
empirically. Scrum is a simple framework for effective team collaboration on
complex projects and products.
