Benefits of Agile Change Management
For Individuals
- Understand real-world application, not just theory, that supports day-to-day work within an agile environment.
- Build your confidence and improve your ability to manage agile change using structured, proven approaches.
- Improve visibility and influence by delivering incremental wins and building trust with stakeholders.
- Enhance career prospects with an in-demand skillset that blends change management and agile delivery.

For Organizations
- Helps organizations promote quicker, more successful adoption of agile change initiatives through iterative delivery and engagement.
- Improves ROI by ensuring that agile initiatives deliver business value early and often—not just at the end of lifecycles.
- Builds more resilient, agile teams by strengthening internal capabilities that adapt to shifting priorities and external uncertainty (e.g., market changes, crises).
- Introduces transparency and feedback processes to encourage more buy-in and diminish resistance to agile practises.
- Reduces risk of agile change failure by breaking change into manageable, testable increments.

Testimonials
Really valuable time spent on a very practical course - immediate application back in the office too as part of our Agile Digital transformation.
I'm already looking at change through a new lens and looking forward to integrating agile change into future projects.
I positively loved this course! It was fun, insightful and most importantly it added new dimensions to the more traditional approach to change. My own proposition and approach will be forever changed as a result of this learning.
The course was very engaging and an understanding of how to adopt an agile approach to change management is invaluable in these rapidly evolving times.
I can thoroughly recommend this course for a super immersive learning experience which equips any change practitioner with valuable agile change skills and techniques.
I'm really pleased to be certified in the new APMG Agile Change Agent qualification! It was a really informative course, I'd thoroughly recommend it. I'm now working on a new Agile Change Roadmap based on all of the practical techniques and tools covered during the training.
I have had the pleasure of just finishing this course and I can honestly say it is one of the best courses I have been on in a very long time. I thoroughly recommend this course.
Great course - I enjoyed as it gave a holistic approach - combining aspects of Agile Project Management, Change Management (Behavioural change) and Programme Management. I've started using some of the techniques already.
Learning about how to manage change in an agile way was a huge eye-opener. The principles will not only help you to deliver your agency strategy but do it in an effective and inclusive way, with buy-in and progress from all stakeholders. I am by no means a seasoned change professional but learning about it has hugely improved the way I approach strategic projects.
