COURSE DESCRIPTION

The Certified Agile Leadership® II (CAL II) is a guided journey deepening your understanding and application of agile leadership principles. The goal of CAL II is to guide leaders in strengthening, applying, and sharing their agile leadership learning. It is advanced leadership education that includes validated practice and peer-based sharing. With an emphasis on applying CAL practices in your own organization, the facilitator provides insight on the approach and results of your experience or project report.

IncrementOne’s interactive classes are designed to maximize engagement, understanding and retention, blending lecture and classroom discussion with exercises, games, case studies and simulations. Whether online or in-person, leaders work together on practices, exploring their own challenges and developing potential solutions for challenges they bring into the class that they can take further after training.

Every course covers the core learning objectives, while leaving room for deeper conversations led by the questions and scenarios leaders bring up in class. The class includes comprehensive case studies focused on applying leadership concepts and techniques. The course is a mix of two days of training and guided coaching and collaboration within your cohort over a six month period.

Luis M., Senior Engineer, Major Retail Industry

CSM

One of the best courses I've attended. It helped me understand better the concepts have read and even lived through the lens of the Scrum framework.

Natasha H., Senior Business Analyst, Metals and Mining Industry

CSPO

Dave's course is clearly the gold standard for Agile training. I will be back for more. I've taken several other product owner courses and training in this subject, and although they were helpful, the methods and execution of this course raised the bar in a major way.

Al S., Scrum Master/Agile Coach, Telecommunications Industry

A-CSM

A-CSM with Dave is a beautiful opportunity to bring your scrum knowledge to another level. With a group of other experienced scrum masters, you have the opportunity to talk about the wicked topics that you always wanted to get insights/answers on that are real-world related.

Jill B., People Relationship Manager, Insurance Industry
