    About the Agile Foundation Certification
    The Agile Foundation certificate is intended for those who are relatively new to the concept of “Agile” and would like to discover what it exactly entails.

    The idea behind this exam is that you are serious about delving into the Agility concept and related practices. How you decide to do that will be up to you. You can read books, articles, or blogs. You can also watch videos, listen to podcasts, attend events, or observe others who are working with Agile in practice. Or another possibility is to follow a course in Agile.

    The Agile Foundation Exam is an independent exam meaning it is not tied to a specific method. If you have the Agile Foundation certificate, you will have demonstrated you understand what Agile means and that you can identify the methods and concepts most commonly used in Agile organizations.

      Although this publication has been composed with much care, neither author, nor editor, nor publisher can accept any liability for damage caused by possible errors and/or incompleteness in this publication.

      Publisher about the Courseware

      The Courseware was created by experts from the industry who served as the author(s) for this publication. The input for the material is based on existing publications and the experience and expertise of the author(s). The material has been revised by trainers who also have experience working with the material. Close attention was also paid to the key learning points to ensure what needs to be mastered.

      The objective of the courseware is to provide maximum support to the trainer and to the student, during his or her training. The material has a modular structure and according to the author(s) has the highest success rate should the student opt for examination. The Courseware is also accredited for this reason, wherever applicable.

      In order to satisfy the requirements for accreditation the material must meet certain quality standards. The structure, the use of certain terms, diagrams and references are all part of this accreditation. Additionally, the material must be made available to each student in order to obtain full accreditation. To optimally support the trainer and the participant of the training assignments, practice exams and results are provided with the material.

      Direct reference to advised literature is also regularly covered in the sheets so that students can find additional information concerning a particular topic. The decision to leave out notes pages from the Courseware was to encourage students to take notes throughout the material.

      Although the courseware is complete, the possibility that the trainer deviates from the structure of the sheets or chooses to not refer to all the sheets or commands does exist. The student always has the possibility to cover these topics and go through them on their own time. It is recommended to follow the structure of the courseware and publications for maximum exam preparation.

      The courseware and the recommended literature are the perfect combination to learn and understand the theory.

      How to Use this Courseware

      This courseware is prepared to support classroom training.

      The classroom slides are available in the second section of this courseware. However, these work only as a reference, and the first section (handouts) is what you need to have in front of you during the course. The handouts are designed to maximize interactivity and engagement during the course. There are cross-references in sections that direct you from one to the other. If you need more information about a topic, and it’s not found on the slides, you can follow the references to the training manual.

      There are many white spaces in the handouts. We suggest you fill them in as you progress through the course. The process of writing down the most important parts of the course helps you focus on and remember them.

      There are is a online sample exams iavailable. Don’t even look at it before finishing the course, to make sure your self-evaluation is reliable. At the end of the course, you can take the first exam, and check your performance. A 70% or higher mark is usually safe, but don’t worry if you’ve got a lower mark, as you’re still in the learning phase. There’s a lot of explanation for each question in the exam, to help you polish your knowledge and increase your
