Earn the globally recognised IPM Agile Project Professional® certification and learn how to lead Agile teams with clarity, structure, and confidence. You’ll build practical skills in adaptive planning, backlog and prioritisation, iterative delivery, and continuous improvement. Designed for professionals working across technology, engineering, and other fast-moving environments, this course equips you to deliver value faster, collaborate better, and respond to change without losing control.
Agile has moved well beyond software teams into how US organisations run enterprise transformation, financial services, and government contracting programmes.
As agile matures into a project-level discipline rather than a team-level ritual, employers are looking for professionals who can demonstrate formal, accredited agile project management capability — not a self-issued badge.
IPM Agile Project Professional® offers a genuinely accredited route into that space: the IPMA® Certified Agile Associate (Level D), combined with IPM’s own certification, backed by an internationally recognised standards body rather than a single training vendor.
Upon completion of this course, you will achieve the following learning outcomes:
At the end of the course, participants will complete a certification exam consisting of multiple-choice questions (MCQs) designed to test their ability to apply Agile project management principles. The exam focuses on scenario-based challenges to assess practical understanding.
Preparation materials, including quizzes and a question bank, are provided throughout the course to ensure participants are fully ready for the exam.
There are no prerequisites to apply for the IPMA Agile® competence-based certification, and both exam and certification fees are included. This qualification evaluates your Agile project management competence in the areas of Practice, People, and Perspective. The course content is structured to help you develop and validate these skills to international standards.
Enrolment in this programme includes 12 months’ complimentary access to IPM Membership, supporting continued professional development beyond Agile certification.

US employers — particularly in financial services, technology, and government contracting — are prioritising candidates who can demonstrate this formally. This dual certification signals both structured agile competency and broader project management capability, whether moving into a dedicated Agile Project Manager role or strengthening an

IPM Agile Project Professional® combines two credentials in one programme: the IPMA® Certified Agile Associate (Level D) and IPM’s own Agile Project Professional® certification.
Backed by 35+ years of project management education and 50,000+ professionals trained worldwide, the qualification awards 21 PDUs, recognised toward maintaining PMI certification status — valuable for the large population of US-based PMP® holders maintaining their credential.
