Insights and inspiration for project professionals

 Most of the time, these gatherings are going to be virtual as we will be using Microsoft Teams for our sessions.

Unfortunately, PMI has not yet published a standard or BOK for Agile (apart from the add-on for PMBOK version 6). To counter this, we will be using a commercial book (see below) as a guide. We expect each participant to present one chapter from the study guide.  

The number of participants will be limited to 15, but the minimum number of participants is 7. If we don’t reach the minimum number of participants this Study Group will be cancelled or postponed.

A moderator, who is supposed to be PMI-ACP certified, will organize, plan and lead the 10 sessions.

Participation in this Study Group is free for the members of the PMI Belgium Chapter. Exceptionally, we could allow non-members to participate against a nominal fee.

Additional (exam) guidance can be delivered on a voluntary basis through the PMI Belgium Chapter GROW mentoring program afterwards.

The suggested start date of this Study Group will be March 2020. Sessions will be organized in the evening and will take 1,5 to 2 hours each.

• -Be a member of the PMI Belgium Chapter (in good standing)
