Professional Agile Leadership - Essentials

Professional Agile Leadership Essentials™ is a 2-day* hands-on workshop that uses a combination of instruction and hands-on exercises to help managers and other leaders who work directly with Agile teams understand how to best support, guide, and coach their teams to improve their agile capabilities. The workshop provides a foundation for leaders' role in creating the conditions for a successful business transformation with Agile. Leaders and managers are critical enablers in helping their organisations be successful. Yet, the role of leaders and managers in an Agile organisation can be quite different from what they are used to. This workshop uses a combination of instruction and team-based exercises to help participants learn how to form and support Agile teams to achieve better results and lead the cultural and behavioural changes that organisations must make to reap the benefits of an Agile product delivery approach.

The course is accredited by Scrum.org. All participants completing the course may take part in an assessment for industry-recognised PAL I certification. Students are also able to claim 14 Project Management Institute (PMI) PDU credits.
