The New York City Chapter (PMI NYC) offers a variety of educational experiences, with opportunities to earn PDUs, to support and advance the careers of its members.
“This is an exciting opportunity for Ariel Partners to broaden its reach and connect with PMI’s global community to lend our expertise to help advance the project management profession.”
– Craeg Strong, CTO of Ariel Partners.
Starting immediately, Ariel Partners now offers public Atlassian training courses for Jira Fundamentals, Intermediate, and Advanced. Students work through Agile and DevOps practices in the context of the Atlassian tools, using highly realistic environments. These Jira training courses are designed for team members and those in an oversight role for technology delivery and sustainment programs.
“Unlike competing courses, our Jira courses provide each student a fully configured and highly realistic environment for their use. We start out by practicing each skill hands-on and then provide context and background, including both Scrum and Kanban examples. Students come away learning not only about Jira but about the fundamentals of Agile in a highly pragmatic way.”
– Craeg Strong, CTO Ariel Partners.
