What will you learn?
During this course, you will learn about the Evidence-Based Management™ (EBM) Framework, developed by Scrum.org, to support you as a Professional Agile Leader in team management and continuously improve your organization’s resource planning, capabilities, and business results.
Professional Agile Leadership – Evidence-Based Management (PAL-EBM) is an empirical (experiment- and data-based) approach for ongoing improvement of (customer) results and capacities, risk reduction, investment optimization, and resource planning. You will learn how to deploy the EBM Framework with your organization’s purpose and goals in mind. You will experience (hands-on!) the techniques that will give you and your team an empirical Agile mindset.

Empiricism as a leadership approach: How do you use experiments and data to formulate and achieve your organization’s strategic objectives?
Key Value Areas: How do you utilize KVAs to target measurements for improving market value and operational capabilities?
Targets and Trust: How do these contribute to your organization’s autonomy, transparency, and value delivery?
