ICAgile accredited Agile Fundamentals (ICP), led by our ICAgile Authorised Instructors
This virtual ICP course is a Live Online workshop, run over two full-days but can be delivered as four half-day sessions (each of four hours in duration).
We also deliver this programme in-company, either face-to-face or virtual. As well as the 2-day format, Virtual programmes can be delivered over 4 x half days. We can accommodate delegates from different time-zones where required.
Agile Fundamentals (ICP) is an industry-recognized credential that demonstrates an understanding of the Agile mindset, values, principles, and foundational concepts. Professionals are grounded in what it means to “be agile while doing agile” and achieve organizational agility without specific focus on any single agile methodology or framework (i.e. Scrum, Kanban, XP, DSDM, SAFe, etc.).
We recommend that all the newly formed / forming Agile teams receive ICAgile Agile Fundamentals Training to get everybody to a common base level of knowledge and understanding.
We will teach them tried and trusted techniques to ensure pragmatic delivery of change with an appropriate sense of urgency; cross functional teams able to work with intensity and make daily trade-off decisions and optimise their way of working around a vision to guarantee the best possible outcome(s) within the time available, regularly engaging key stakeholders and customers using rapid feedback loops and adapting their approach according to change.
From the moment the delegates arrive, they will form a self-organising Agile team and agree a Working Agreement. The course will be run using Agile techniques including a Kanban board to track the course progress with a global definition of done for each course topic so they will live and breathe Agile techniques throughout. We will use a series of interactive exercises where the class will get the opportunity to try out the techniques they are learning. We will provide them with techniques to construct their first backlog around a vision and learn to use a change-driven approach where scope can be negotiated to ensure all the most valuable elements are delivered swiftly and value is in the hands of customers as soon as possible.
We will live and breathe some adaptive planning together using an accelerated simulation, so the delegates get hands-on experience of what is like to work in an Agile team to deliver an outcome and understand the advantages of using this kind of approach. We will also tool them up with how to use relative estimation and burn charts to track their progress. We will help them to understand the pros and cons of different approaches and some of the change management issues to be handled along the way.
Example of online Agile Simulation
The ICAgile authorised instructor will assess the delegates during the training to ensure they have comprehended and digested the topics covered. This will take the form of active questioning and monitoring of the classroom exercises as well as tasks and exercises to be undertaken outside the virtual classroom. Provided the standards are met during the course, each delegate will attain the Certified Professional ICAgile Agile Fundamentals qualification, adding personal impetus, confidence and credibility to the candidates following the course.

We were interested in speeding up project delivery as initial projects were taking longer than expected… …that was our original thinking, but the course has given us an awful lot more, particularly at acknowledging the deliverables…
The Agile Framework course gave my team the skills and tools needed to completely revolutionise the way we run product development. We are now combining best practice from the software industry and LSS to deliver high technology products.
We even got a system change in which is unheard of in Essex CC, we’ve never seen things done this quickly before.
