Agile Transformation Certification

Effective change agents possess key attributes including servant leadership, curiosity, adaptability, and strong emotional intelligence. They understand when to coach, teach, facilitate, mentor, or advise based on the situation.

Most importantly, they demonstrate self-awareness, ethical consideration in their influence, and the ability to work with system dynamics rather than against them. Our training helps you develop these competencies systematically.

Agile organizational design emphasizes decentralized decision-making, psychological safety, intrinsic motivation, and value-focused structures. Unlike traditional hierarchical models, agile organizations prioritize responsiveness, learning, and continuous adaptation.

Key differences include flatter structures, governance patterns that support autonomy, and execution models focused on flow and customer value rather than resource efficiency alone.

Safe-to-try experiments are small, low-risk initiatives designed to test assumptions and learn about what works in your specific organizational context. They are reversible, affordable, and designed to generate learning rather than prove a predetermined outcome.

These experiments are crucial because they allow organizations to adapt and evolve based on evidence rather than assumptions, reducing the risk of large-scale change initiatives while building organizational learning capabilities.

This training is ideal for anyone involved in or responsible for organizational change, including:

• Agile coaches and consultants
• Change managers and transformation leaders
• HR professionals and organizational development specialists
• Senior managers and executives leading agile initiatives
• Scrum Masters and Product Owners looking to expand their impact

No prior transformation experience is required, but some familiarity with agile principles is helpful.

Upon successful completion, you will receive the Agile Transformation Level 1 (AT 1) certification from Agile Academy. This certification validates your understanding of transformation principles, change agent skills, and practical application of agile change methodologies.

The certification is valid for life with no renewal fees and includes unlimited exam retakes.

The choice depends on what's most important to you:

• If you value practical application and want flexibility between e-learning and live training, Certified by Agile Academy is ideal.
• If you want to focus purely on the Scrum framework, Scrum Alliance could be an option. However, be aware of the ongoing recertification costs.
• If you just want to take an exam and are willing to pay the exam fees, then Scrum.org is an alternative.

Certifications like Scrum.org are often exam-focused, meaning theoretical knowledge is sufficient. If you care more about real, applicable skills, Agile Academy offers the better approach.

• Lifetime Validity: You never need to renew your certificate or pay additional fees.
• Holistic Approach: Beyond Scrum, Agile Academy covers topics crucial for modern work practices, such as:
• OKRs (Objectives and Key Results): Goal management for teams.
• Psychological Safety: Creating a safe work environment.
• Leadership Development: Leadership skills for Agile teams.

• No Hidden Costs: Unlike ScrumAlliance or Scrum.org, we have no ongoing fees or expensive exam attempts.
• Broader Range of Topics: We go well beyond Scrum and cover modern, practice-relevant topics like OKRs, Psychological Safety, and Leadership Development.
• Practice-Oriented Certificates: Our certificates reflect your actual abilities, not just passing an exam. The goal is for you to apply your knowledge directly in real projects.
• Lifetime Validity: Through our lifetime certification, you save considerable time and money in the long run.
• Modern Learning Formats: Agile Academy offers you the flexibility to choose between live training and e-learning to optimally support your personal learning style.

Yes! Unlike many other certification bodies, Agile Academy doesn't force you to attend live training. You can prepare flexibly and independently through e-learning. However, live training is available if you prefer personal interaction.

The "Certified by Agile Academy" credential was launched in 2024. Our goal is to make this certification the new standard in the agile world – with a strong focus on quality, practical relevance, and the requirements of modern organizations.
