PMBOK® Guide – Eighth Edition: Building High-Performance Teams in an Agile Framework
Welcome to Building High-Performance Teams in an Agile Framework. In this course, we will explore what it really means to build and sustain high-performing teams in modern Agile and product-focused environments. As organizations increasingly move away from traditional, temporary project structures and toward continuous product delivery, the way teams are formed, led, and supported must evolve as well. Aligned with the PMBOK® Guide Eighth Edition, this course focuses on the principles, mindsets, and human-centered practices that enable teams to consistently deliver value. We will examine leadership behaviors, team dynamics, emotional intelligence, stewardship, and collaboration, and look at how these elements come together to support both co-located and distributed Agile teams. This latest version represents a significant evolution in the discipline of project and product management. This is an evolution, not a replacement. Project and product management are evolving disciplines. As such, the body of knowledge that encapsulates its best practices, principles, and techniques should also grow. The PMBOK emphasizes principles over prescriptive processes, encouraging practitioners to adapt their approach based on context, value delivery needs, and human factors. This course reflects that same principle-based mindset.
