What changes for your team

  • Turn Agile from initiative to operating reality
  • Stop busy teams from producing low-impact work
  • Prove your Agile leadership capability

Immersive training pays back differently to a two-day course. Sessions spread across several weeks mean each idea is applied in your real work before the next one lands — so capability builds instead of fading under a backlog.

Frequently Asked Questions

Agile Leadership Essentials is designed for managers, leaders, and anyone responsible for supporting or leading agile teams or driving agile change in their organisation. It’s not for those seeking a basic introduction to Scrum or those without any exposure to Agile concepts.

The course includes a password for the Professional Agile Leadership I (PAL I) certification exam. If you attempt the exam within 14 days and don’t achieve the required 85% passing score, you get a second attempt at no additional cost.

You’ll tackle challenges like supporting agile teams, removing impediments to agility, adapting leadership approaches, measuring the benefits of agility, and leading the culture and behaviour changes needed for successful agile transformation.

You should already be familiar with Scrum, as this course assumes a foundational knowledge of Agile and Scrum practices. It’s best suited for those who have previously worked in or around Scrum teams.

The PAL I certification included with Agile Leadership Essentials is issued by Scrum.org and is globally recognised by employers and Agile professionals.
