The Scrum Alliance has launched an updated Certified Agile Leader certification path. This revamped program is designed to equip professionals, regardless of title, level, or industry, with the leadership skills needed to sustain adaptive work environments, foster innovative cultures, and drive meaningful business results. The updated Certified Agile Leader® learning track is designed to equip anyone with the leadership skills and competencies to drive success in a business landscape that demands flexibility and adaptiveness.
“By updating the CAL certification path, we are delivering on our objective to provide professionals with the skills and knowledge they need to perform as world-class leaders no matter where they are in their career,” said Scrum Alliance Chief Executive Officer Tristan Boutros. “CAL is a critical anchor for leaders at all levels because today’s professionals must possess agile skills in order to bring out the best in teams and deliver results,” he continued. “Not only for people currently in management, CAL equips anyone in the organization to drive better ROI, mitigate risks, and maintain a competitive edge with adaptive leadership skills—no matter their role.”
“CAL 1 and 2 are designed to equip leaders across any organization, department, or team with the skills to become an agile leader,” said Kate Megaw, Certified Scrum Trainer® and one of the Subject Matter Experts who designed the course. “These classes teach leaders the mindset shifts required to lead themselves, teams, and organizations. Agile leadership skills—whether embraced by a team member or an executive leader—are crucial to an organization’s resilience and success.”
