Develop professional Agile leadership capability across advanced Scrum practice, product ownership, scaling, coaching, change, stakeholder engagement, delivery metrics, governance and modern Agile tools.

What you will develop
- Practise advanced Scrum, servant leadership, facilitation, mentoring and conflict resolution.
- Connect product roadmaps and releases with stakeholder needs and business value.
- Compare scaling approaches such as SAFe, LeSS and Disciplined Agile; explore adoption and change strategies.
- Track delivery with KPIs, burnup and burndown charts, cycle time, estimation and governance evidence.
- Use advanced Jira, Azure DevOps and Businessmap (formerly Kanbanize) examples to support delivery flow and reporting.
Practical work
Deliver a scaled Agile project simulation with stakeholder involvement. Present the roadmap, team dependencies, metrics, risks and decisions, and explain how feedback changed the delivery approach.
Career directions
Develop towards Scrum Master, Product Owner and Agile delivery opportunities. Coaching and scaled leadership roles require relevant team and organisational delivery experience.

Salary and contract-rate figures are indicative UK market ranges based on publicly available evidence reviewed at the stated date. Actual earnings vary according to experience, location, employer, sector, qualifications, responsibilities and employment type. Course completion does not guarantee employment, promotion or a particular level of earnings.
Mentoring and career support
Mentoring connects technical learning with practical development and professional evidence. Your programme includes six months of job-search support and three months of in-role support. Discuss the arrangements and starting dates with our team, including CV, LinkedIn and interview preparation. Employment is not guaranteed.
Certification and assessment information
Discuss SCRUMstudy Agile Master Certified (SAMC), SAFe Agilist and an appropriate Agile leadership route. For ICAgile, Leading with Agility (ICP-LEA) is a specific option to discuss; the source’s generic leadership label is not itself a named credential. Change Management Certificate also needs an exact provider and assessment. Confirm the current SAFe version and preparation route before booking.
