Using a high level of knowledge and experience, the APM will blend traditional project management principles and practices with an emerging Agile development approach. They will also reinforce industry standard iterative practices to assist the team in delivering on time for mission-critical, enterprise-level projects. The APM will be able to confidently define project scope, requirements, and schedules, distribute status reports, manage product owner expectations, and champion process improvement initiatives that support the implementation of an Agile project management strategy.
