Learn Agile as a System — No Games, No Gimmicks, Just Principles That Work.
This intensive program develops your capacity to work with agile practices as genuine systems thinking rather than gamified rituals. Through experiential learning grounded in the RAW Systems Work Model®, you'll discover how to sense and respond to actual work dynamics, recognize natural collaboration patterns, and facilitate agile adoption that emerges from system intelligence rather than imposed frameworks.
Software developers, product managers, project managers, team leads, business analysts, and professionals seeking ICAgile ICP certification while developing foundational capabilities for working with agile as a living system of principles rather than a collection of ceremonies and artifacts.
Through progressive learning modules, you'll develop capabilities in:
Understanding Agile as a System: Recognize agile values and principles as expressions of how work systems naturally function when aligned with human intelligence and organizational purpose
Working with Empirical Process Control: Develop capacity to use transparency, inspection, and adaptation as natural system feedback mechanisms rather than prescribed rituals
Sensing Value Flow: Learn to perceive how value moves through systems and identify where impediments arise from misalignment rather than individual performance
Facilitating Self-Organization: Understand how teams naturally organize around work when given appropriate constraints, transparency, and autonomy
Navigating Agile Adoption: Work with organizational systems to discover what agility means in their specific context rather than imposing standardized frameworks
Four halfdays of in-person training combining theory, experiential exercises, and real-world application. You'll experience working in an agile learning system while developing understanding of core agile principles. The curriculum integrates the RAW Systems Work Model® with ICAgile Agile Fundamentals learning objectives through practice that transforms how you perceive and apply agile thinking.
Experience agile learning without gamification, simulation, or artificial engagement.
This program deliberately avoids the gamification common in agile training—no Lego exercises, no marshmallow towers, no simulated sprints with toy products. Instead, you'll work with real principles applied to actual scenarios, developing genuine understanding of agile as systems thinking. Experience learning that treats you as an intelligent professional rather than someone needing entertainment to stay engaged.
The "no games" approach accelerates real comprehension through direct engagement with agile principles, meaningful discussion of actual workplace challenges, and practice applying systems thinking to complex work situations. Build foundational agile capabilities through authentic learning that prepares you for the reality of organizational work rather than idealized simulations.
Experience agile learning in the same environment where modern agile teams actually work.
Sixty percent of agile teams now work fully remote or hybrid, making online delivery the natural format for learning agile fundamentals. When you learn agile principles in a distributed online environment, you're experiencing the same context where you'll apply them. Remote teams leverage agile to maintain collaboration and productivity, and learning online allows you to develop these capabilities authentically rather than simulating them.
The online format enables genuine distributed collaboration—the kind your teams actually practice. You'll work with fellow learners across locations, experiencing real-time how transparency, inspection, and adaptation function in remote contexts. This isn't theoretical learning about remote agile work; it's practical development of agile thinking while working distributedly.
Online delivery also removes geographical barriers, allowing you to learn alongside professionals from diverse organizational contexts and industries. Build lasting professional relationships with practitioners facing similar challenges in their remote and hybrid teams. The asynchronous elements of online learning mirror the asynchronous communication patterns essential to distributed agile teams, preparing you for the reality of modern work rather than an idealized co-located scenario.
