Your Journey to Agile Mastery Awaits

And We Have the Roadmap

International Consortium for Agile (ICAgile) is a community-driven organization that consists of pioneers, experts, and trusted advisors. ICAgile is not just another certification body. We are changing the way people do agile by helping them become agile.

 From the beginning, ICAgile’s mission has been to help organizations achieve sustainable agility by focusing on the transformation of people, not just processes. We do this by providing learning journeys that equip people with an Agile mindset as a foundation, then guide them along a path towards mastery in their chosen discipline.

What We Believe

We believe that agile is not a process, methodology, or framework; it is a mindset that welcomes uncertainty, embraces challenges, empowers individuals, and views failure as a learning opportunity. Adopting an agile mindset unleashes the brilliance of people and teams, which enables rapid discovery and faster innovation. This is a game changer in today’s competitive and uncertain world.

There are a number of reasons why an Agile mindset is paramount on your Agile journey. Here are our top three:


  1. An Agile mindset helps you BE Agile while doing Agile. Well-known frameworks provide great tools and techniques to help teams execute in an agile manner. However, an Agile mindset is the key to BEING agile, resulting in sustainable agility manifested through people, not processes.
  2. An Agile mindset allows you to tailor methodologies for your reality. Agile processes will and should continue to evolve as organizations learn more and build agile capability. An Agile mindset gives you the flexibility to blend agile methods and even invent new frameworks to maximize collaboration and innovation.
  3. An Agile mindset helps bring out the best in your teams and organizations. Having an agile mindset is synonymous with a culture of continuous learning. Learning agility helps people reach their potential and is a critical ingredient for business agility.

 

What We Do

We are a certification and accreditation body, not a training company. We help organizations and training providers design learning experiences that cultivate an agile mindset and enable sustainable organizational agility. We do this by providing world-class learning tracks to guide organizations in the development of their curriculum. Our approach is not tied to any specific Agile methodology, thus giving people the flexibility to blend agile flavors and practices in a way that makes sense for their reality.

In pursuit of our mission, ICAgile works with course providers to accredit new or existing courses against proven learning objectives. In turn, these courses can be offered to agile individuals and organizations for professional-level certifications.

In addition to accreditation and professional-level certifications, ICAgile offers a competency-based expert certification program, which is unique in the industry. The ICAgile Certified Expert (ICE) certifications are extremely prestigious and are only awarded to individuals who demonstrate competence in a given track via a rigorous review process in front of a panel of industry-recognized experts.
