Lead Teams Through Adaptive, Value-Driven Project Delivery
Learn how to facilitate effective agile teams, implement scrum practices that actually work, and guide organisations through meaningful transformation.
Back to HomeWhat This Programme Offers
This practical programme helps you develop genuine facility with agile methodologies and scrum framework. Rather than just learning theory, you'll work through the actual challenges that teams and organisations face when adopting or improving agile practices.
Over eight focused weeks, you'll gain hands-on experience with sprint planning, backlog management, team facilitation, and the mindset shifts that make agile approaches work. The emphasis remains on understanding why these practices matter and how to apply them effectively in real contexts.
Practical Expertise
You'll understand how to run effective sprints, facilitate productive ceremonies, and help teams self-organise around shared goals. This knowledge transfers directly to your work environment, allowing you to guide teams more confidently.
Multiple Framework Understanding
Beyond pure Scrum, you'll explore Kanban, SAFe, and other approaches. This breadth helps you recognise which methods suit different situations and how to adapt practices to your organisation's specific needs.
Certification Preparation
The programme prepares you for both Certified Scrum Master and Certified Scrum Product Owner credentials. These certifications demonstrate your understanding to employers and clients whilst validating your knowledge of agile principles.
Community Connection
You'll join a network of agile practitioners who continue supporting each other beyond the programme. This ongoing connection provides resources and perspective as you apply what you've learned in your own work.
Challenges You Might Recognise
Traditional Approaches Feel Limiting
Perhaps you've noticed that rigid planning and linear processes don't always serve your projects well. Requirements change, priorities shift, and you need approaches that accommodate reality rather than fighting it. You understand there must be better ways to deliver value.
Your Organisation Wants Agile But Struggles
Maybe your company has adopted agile terminology without truly understanding the underlying principles. Stand-ups happen but don't help. Sprints exist in name only. You sense that genuine agile practices could improve things, but implementation feels unclear.
Team Facilitation Feels Uncertain
Leading agile teams requires different skills than traditional project management. You might feel unsure about how to facilitate effectively, remove impediments appropriately, or help teams become truly self-organising. The servant leadership concept makes sense but applying it proves challenging.
Career Opportunities Require Agile Knowledge
Many organisations now expect project professionals to understand agile methodologies. Without this knowledge and relevant credentials, you may find yourself excluded from positions that otherwise match your experience and capabilities.
How This Programme Develops Your Capabilities
We've designed this course around experiential learning and practical application of agile principles.
Hands-On Team Exercises
You'll participate in simulated sprints and product development scenarios. This experiential approach helps you understand team dynamics, ceremony facilitation, and how agile practices actually feel from various perspectives.
Multiple Framework Exploration
We examine Scrum, Kanban, SAFe, and other approaches with attention to when each works well. You'll develop judgment about selecting and adapting methods rather than rigidly following any single framework.
Transformation Insights
You'll understand common challenges organisations face when adopting agile and how to address them constructively. This knowledge helps whether you're implementing agile practices or improving existing implementations.
Certification Focus
Preparation for CSM and CSPO credentials threads throughout the programme. You'll understand what these certifications assess and how to demonstrate your knowledge effectively when pursuing them.
Why This Approach Works
Agile isn't just a methodology to memorise; it's a mindset and set of practices that must be experienced to be truly understood. Our programme balances conceptual learning with practical application, helping you develop real facility rather than surface knowledge.
Instructors share experiences from actual agile transformations, including what worked and what didn't. This honest perspective helps you navigate similar situations with greater confidence and realism.
Your Eight-Week Journey
Here's what you'll experience as you develop your agile expertise.
Weeks 1-2: Agile Foundations and Scrum Framework
We establish understanding of agile principles, values, and mindset. You'll learn the Scrum framework structure including roles, ceremonies, and artifacts. Early exercises help you experience how agile differs from traditional approaches and why these differences matter.
Weeks 3-4: Facilitation and Team Dynamics
Focus shifts to running effective ceremonies and facilitating self-organising teams. You'll practice sprint planning, daily stand-ups, reviews, and retrospectives. We explore servant leadership concepts and how to guide without controlling.
Weeks 5-6: Scaling and Alternative Frameworks
We examine how agile works beyond single teams, exploring scaling frameworks and when to apply them. Kanban and other approaches receive attention, helping you understand the broader agile ecosystem and select appropriate methods for different contexts.
Weeks 7-8: Transformation and Continuous Improvement
The final weeks address organisational change challenges and how to guide agile adoption effectively. We review certification preparation and discuss how to continue developing your practice after the programme ends.
What Participants Find
The eight-week timeframe allows you to absorb concepts whilst maintaining your work commitments. Sessions combine instruction with practical exercises, keeping things engaging and immediately applicable. Most people find themselves thinking differently about their projects even during the programme.
You'll likely begin applying agile practices at work before completing all sessions. This real-world testing reinforces learning and helps you understand how theory translates to your specific context.
Programme Investment
Here's what participation in this programme involves.
What's Included
- Eight weeks of interactive sessions with experienced practitioners
- Comprehensive course materials covering multiple frameworks
- Team exercises and product development simulations
- CSM and CSPO certification preparation guidance
- Access to ongoing community of agile practitioners
- Templates and tools for implementing agile practices
Additional Considerations
Certification Fees
Scrum Alliance certification fees are separate from tuition and paid directly to Scrum Alliance. Current rates are approximately £210 for CSM and similar amounts for CSPO.
Payment Structure
Full payment at enrolment secures your place. We can provide documentation for employer sponsorship arrangements if your organisation supports professional development.
Time Commitment
Beyond session attendance, expect to spend a few hours weekly on exercises and reflection. The shorter programme length makes this commitment more manageable whilst still providing thorough coverage.
Investment Value
This programme provides both immediate practical value and credentials that serve your career long-term. Many organisations actively seek professionals with demonstrated agile expertise, making this investment worthwhile from both capability and career perspectives.
Measuring Progress and Success
We track both skill development and practical application throughout the programme.
Experiential Assessment
Your facility with agile practices becomes evident through team exercises and facilitation opportunities during sessions. This practical demonstration shows whether concepts are truly landing rather than just being memorised.
Instructors provide feedback on your facilitation approach and suggest areas for continued development. This guidance helps you refine your practice throughout the programme and beyond.
Certification Success
Most participants who complete the programme successfully earn their chosen certifications. CSM and CSPO exams assess understanding of agile principles and scrum framework, and our preparation helps you demonstrate that knowledge effectively.
Those pursuing both credentials typically space them over several months, allowing time to absorb each perspective fully. We support both approaches based on your situation.
Workplace Application
Many participants begin implementing agile practices at work during or immediately after the programme. This real-world application provides the truest measure of whether the knowledge has genuine utility.
We encourage sharing these experiences with the community, as they help everyone understand how agile principles translate across different organisational contexts.
Career Impact
Participants often report expanded career opportunities within months of completing the programme. Agile expertise opens doors to positions that weren't previously accessible and provides tools for succeeding in those roles.
The combination of practical capability and recognised credentials creates genuine professional value that compounds over time.
What Success Means
Success with this programme means developing genuine agile facility rather than just surface knowledge. You'll understand not only how to run ceremonies but why they matter and how to adapt them appropriately.
You'll finish confident in your ability to guide agile teams and support organisational transformation. That practical capability, combined with relevant credentials, positions you well for career progression.
