Level 2 also introduces more complex tools, such as Monte Carlo simulations and cumulative flow diagrams, giving participants the skills to optimize workflows and lead improvements at an organizational level.

To achieve the KMP certification, you must complete two courses: Kanban System Design (KSD) and Kanban System Improvement (KSI). Successfully completing both courses grants you the prestigious KMP certification from Kanban University.

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.
