Course Overview
Leaders and managers are facing increasing challenges as technologies, markets, and customers' needs constantly change. Organizations that use Agile product development techniques will often still employ traditional management approaches, expecting leaders to set firm long-term goals and manage progress toward them with dashboards of static metrics.
In this Professional Agile Leadership - Evidence-Based Management course, students will learn about the Evidence-Based Management (EBM) framework from Scrum.org - an Agile approach to help leaders guide their teams toward continuously improving customer outcomes, organizational capabilities, and business results.
This highly interactive class is delivered virtually over two half day sessions. After the class, students will get a passcode to take the PAL-EBM assessment. After passing the assessment, students will gain the industry recognized PAL-EBM certification, which will never expire.
Private classes and group discounts are available!
With markets and customer needs constantly changing, organizations need information and evidence that helps them adapt quickly to new challenges and opportunities so that they can deliver greater value and achieve true business agility. Yet often organizations that use Agile product development techniques use traditional management approaches, expecting leaders to set firm long-term goals and manage progress toward them with dashboards of static metrics.
That is why Scrum.org created the Evidence-Based ManagementTM (EBM) framework - an Agile approach to help leaders guide their teams toward continuously improving customer outcomes, organizational capabilities, and business results. EBM focuses on customer value and intentional experimentation to systematically improve an organization’s performance and achieve their strategic goals.
In the Professional Agile Leadership – Evidence-Based Management (PAL-EBM) course, participants learn what EBM is and how to apply it through hands-on, activity-based learning. Through a series of exercises, participants learn techniques that support a more agile mindset.
