Professional Agile Leadership™ – Evidence-Based Management™ (PAL-EBM)
Duration : 1 Day (8 Hours)
Professional Agile Leadership™ – Evidence-Based Management™ (PAL-EBM) Course Overview:
In the one-day Professional Agile Leadership™ – Evidence-Based Management (PAL-EBM) course, participants engage in hands-on, activity-based learning to grasp the principles of Evidence-Based Management (EBM) and its practical application. They develop an agile mindset, enabling them to set and achieve strategic goals empirically, adapt to complexity through experimentation, and foster a cultural environment of autonomy and trust. The course emphasizes a shift from measuring progress solely through team metrics to a focus on customer-centricity and improving customer outcomes. Participants also learn to enhance operations by using four Key Value Areas (Unrealized Value, Current Value, Time to Market, and the Ability to Innovate) as lenses for evidence-based decision-making.
Intended Audience:
PAL-EBM is for professionals in leadership roles (including executives, managers, Scrum Masters, Product Owners, coaches, and consultants) who:
- Are responsible for the success of their product delivery programs or Agile transformations and are seeking a means to measure and demonstrate that success
- Are looking for a framework that identifies improvement areas that increase their business agility, including their time to pivot to meet new challenges and deliver customer value
- Want to help their organization embrace empiricism and experimentation to find solutions for complex problems (where more is unknown than known or the situation changes rapidly)
- Want to articulate goals and measures in a way that fosters self-management and empower their teams to understand the connection between their work and the value their organization is providing and customer is receiving
- Want to be more effective in how they measure success by using Agile measures rather than traditional measurement models (including the use of velocity)
Attendees should have read the Evidence-Based Management Guide, have an understanding of Agile practices and a desire to move away from traditional, plan-driven ways of working and measurement models, however they do not need specific experience with Scrum. Our Professional Agile Leadership- Essentials course helps leaders understand how to best support their Agile teams and is ideal preparation for PAL-EBM, but is not a prerequisite. Our Professional Scrum Product Owner and Professional Scrum Product Owner – Advanced courses teach Product Owners how to deliver value and can be a great complement to the PAL-EBM course.
