Agile Programme Management (AgilePgM®)
The world’s leading certification for managing agile programmes at scale. Lead complex change initiatives with the structure, governance and adaptability that transformation actually demands.

About the course
AgilePgM® gives programme managers and transformation leaders a disciplined yet flexible approach to managing organisational change. It’s built for the people running multi-project initiatives, coordinating teams across the business and delivering value incrementally to stakeholders who expect results.
Developed by the Agile Business Consortium, AgilePgM® doesn’t try to replace what you already know about programme management. Instead, it brings agile thinking into the programme environment, equipping you to scale agile delivery, manage interdependencies and integrate agile and non-agile workstreams within a single programme.
The framework addresses what programme managers need most: the structure and governance to maintain control of complex change, alongside the adaptability to respond to shifting priorities and emerging risks. It’s the certification of choice for leaders managing transformational change in organizations where rigour and agility have to work together.
