The Hybrid Project Management seminar not only teaches essential core elements of agile and conventional project management methods, but also addresses the benefits of each practice. Seminar participants develop a comprehensive understanding of project-related goals, functions and stakeholders as well as the principles of the agile way of working, so that they can leave this seminar feeling equipped for future complex projects:

• Building on the fundamentals of project management, you will gain an overview of agile and conventional methods so that you can choose the most appropriate approach for each stage of the project.
• Gain knowledge on how to use hybrid project management with different methods such as Scrum, Kanban or conventional practices. Following the Hybrid Project Management seminar, you will be able to optimise workflows and complexity for your project management.
• You will familiarise yourself with process models and gain insights into the advantages and limitations of the different approaches.
• You will gain a comprehensive set of tools for managing different types of projects and effective techniques for managing project complexity.
• You will understand how to ensure the success of your projects through various factors. For example, learn more about how to effectively manage change and stakeholders to achieve successful project outcomes in the Hybrid Project Management seminar.

The Hybrid Project Management Seminar combines theoretical and practical components. The seminar participants are provided with the necessary background knowledge on the basis of which they can develop their own working methods. The seminar is interactive and practice-oriented, so that you have the opportunity to apply the acquired knowledge directly in practice. The focus is primarily on exercises and self-reflection on situations already experienced in everyday project work. In this way, you will learn how to develop a framework for managing complex projects and gain an understanding of the requirements for successful project management with different approaches.

The Hybrid Project Management Seminar is primarily aimed at experienced project leaders and managers who want to be better prepared for complex projects. In addition, the seminar appeals equally to executives, team managers and decision-makers. In principle, participation in the Hybrid Project Management Seminar is suitable for anyone who has a role in project management or project controlling and would like to gain an overview of the complex subject matter.

Of course, we also offer the Hybrid Project Management Seminar as an in-house training. With the help of our trainers, customised concepts can be developed that are specifically tailored to you and your employees' needs. This allows you to focus on specific topics or project types that are relevant to your organisation and procedures. If you are interested in a seminar in your company, get in touch with us. We will be happy to define the relevant framework conditions, e.g. time schedule, language, etc. of the Hybrid Project Management Seminar together with you.

Traditional waterfall management has been around for decades, so it is well known and widely used in many companies. With this principle, everything is planned in advance. Each step is documented and those involved work in a linear fashion to complete it. This principle may be more suitable for larger projects with many resources and multiple stakeholders.

Agile/Scrum is team-based and relies on providing shorter periods of time (called sprints) and encouraging quick results. With this methodology, processes can be prioritised and adjusted as needed throughout development. This principle requires frequent feedback from stakeholders and agile leadership that can keep up with changes as they occur.

For some, a mix of both is best. Hybrid project management allows organisations to reap the benefits of both types.

Agility is the ability to adapt quickly and responsively to upheavals in the environment, both internal and external. Hybrid project management uses this concept to create an agile system that combines conventional with new ways of doing things.

One of the main benefits of hybrid project management is improved collaboration between stakeholders. By using new technologies, it is possible to communicate with each other more quickly, which leads to improved communication and faster decision-making. Hybrid project management also allows for greater flexibility, as changes can be implemented quickly without interrupting or disrupting existing processes.

By combining conventional and already established practices, processes can be streamlined and efficiency increased while reducing costs associated with project management. Redundant processes and activities can be eliminated. This also saves time and resources.

Hybrid project management allows for a better understanding of risks as well as the impact of changes and other variables. This means that informed decisions can be made based on solid data rather than guesswork or intuition.
