Prove Your Knowledge of Evidence-Based Management

It shows you can guide teams to improve customer outcomes and business results by setting goals, measuring progress, and making data-driven decisions based on real evidence and continuous learning.
While attendance in a Professional Agile Leadership – Evidence-Based Management class is not mandatory, it is highly recommended through ScrumIntelligence.org to help you fully understand the concepts and better prepare for the certification assessment.

The assessment covers several focus areas from the ScrumIntelligence.org Competency Model, along with additional key topics such as empiricism, product value, business strategy, stakeholder engagement, lean portfolio planning, and data-driven goal setting. It also includes understanding how to form and evaluate hypotheses and adapt goals through inspection, enabling organizations to make smarter decisions in complex, fast-changing environments.
