DSDM Atern Awareness: Accredited by DSDM Consortium and ISEB
Course Details
Atern is the latest evolution of the DSDM method that has been in widespread use since its release in 1994. Owned and supported by the DSDM Consortium and free to use, Atern addresses the requirements of both Project Management and Solution Delivery. The DSDM Consortium (http://www.dsdm.org) continues to operate a Certification and Accreditation system for individuals and organisations that is widely recognised across industry groups, including the British Computer Society. It also forms the basis of the APMG’s Agile Project Management PRINCE2® stable-mate. Originally an approach for Rapid Application Development of IT systems, with Atern DSDM has evolved into an industrial strength Agile method, which may be equally applied to IT or Business Projects.
An understanding of the differences between DSDM Atern and more traditional approaches make it imperative that all people participating in the project at any level or in any capacity have an understanding of the framework so that they can maximise their effectiveness and assure success.
This course is accredited by the DSDM Consortium and provides sufficient background in DSDM Atern for delegates to understand its distinctive features, the implications of contributing to a DSDM Atern project and the planning and education needed for an effective implementation of DSDM Atern.

Testimonials
I have been in the IT industry for over 17 years working as a Senior Project Manager for Logica and am now Agile Project Director for Logitak Ltd. Of all the trainers in the U.K. , I have chosen to repeatedly go back to RADTAC (Certified Agile Project Manager, Certified ScrumMaster and now the Certified Scrum Developer course) for three reasons : 1) the quality of their courses is exceptional 2) their trainers are what can only be described as Thought Leaders, and 3) mostly significantly, they place an unusual emphasis on great customer service at every stage, even post course completion. RADTAC have taken the UK initiative in introducing the Certified Scrum Developer Course in the United Kingdom, and in that respect are helping promote key Agile XP practices which are still widely misunderstood.
