Government & NonProfit Leadership- Being Agile
Applications of Agile Project Management in Nonprofits
Today’s lesson is longer than usual. That’s why there are no lessons in the quantitative section. Today you will learn about Agile project management. It is a commonly used project management technique in for-profit companies, especially technology companies. However, its success has made other sectors take notice.

It also emphasizes on collaboration and mutual accountability over hierarchy- hence, it is suitable for modern times.
