What is Agile?

Why another certification body?

• Disciplines – not roles– We help students excel in their chosen disciplines– We don’t mold individuals into specific roles

• Methodology-agnostic – Most organizations don’t adopt a pure methodology– Agile values & principles applied to any environment

• Comprehensive education roadmap– Supporting all disciplines within an enterprise– No other program covers a breadth of disciplines across the

organization rather than limiting itself to the IT department

ICAgile Certified Professional (ICP)

• Beginning-level certification• Granted to students who attend an accredited Fundamentals of Agile course

– The ICP is the visible commitment students make to themselves and their colleagues to understand the Agile values and principles and pursue additional learning.

– Earning the ICP signals a student’s statement of intent to act as a professional in the Agile community.

– Students who adopt the ICP title and refer to themselves as Agile Professionals are more likely to behave in a way that reflects that label. As such, we grant the ICP without an accompanying evaluation.

• Focuses on the Agile values & principles • Prerequisite for ICE• ICP level includes Continuing Education Certifications (CEC)

– CECs are optional certifications– Require an evaluation– Extend the learner’s Professional status into a specific track of learning, eg. ICP-Team
