DENVER, Aug. 2, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- To bolster the skills of modern professionals
navigating dynamic, fast-paced markets, 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.
"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."
The Certified Agile Leader track is divided into two distinct
courses: Certified Agile Leader 1 (CAL 1™) and Certified Agile
Leader 2 (CAL 2™), the latter building on the former to deepen the
understanding and application of agile leadership principles.
The speed of change in modern markets necessitates
leaders—whether managers, executives, or individuals building
leadership skills—who can deliver results amid uncertainty. The
Scrum Alliance Certified Agile Leader courses aim to equip learners
with the skills needed to thrive in modern business environments.
Whether in a corporate, non-profit, or governmental role, these
courses are crafted to bring out the leader in everyone.
CAL 1 and CAL 2 are open for registration. For more information,

"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."
CAL 1 serves as the introductory course, focusing on the
essentials of agile leadership. Participants will learn what it
means to be an agile leader and why agile leadership is critical,
especially during transformative periods.

- Understanding the core aspects that make a leader agile
- Recognizing the importance of agile leadership
- Utilizing frameworks and tools for leadership growth
- Building high-performing, cross-functional teams

development. Participants in CAL 2 will explore:
- Organizational structure and design
- Evaluating different organizational structures and their impact
on performance and strategy
- Inspecting and recommending transformations for organizational
structures
