Iterative delivery in practice — adaptive planning, short feedback loops, and working out what to build next.
Agile certification has a reputation problem: too many credentials prove attendance rather than practice. This one is assessed by examination, and the questions are about decisions rather than ceremonies.
What matters here is whether you can work under genuine uncertainty — re-plan when the last increment taught you something inconvenient, and cut scope without pretending the cut was free.
It sits in the Agile Delivery track at Associate tier, and is issued with a unique credential ID, a two-year validity period and an independently hosted digital badge.
Practitioners delivering iteratively — in a scrum team, a kanban flow or a hybrid arrangement that does not have a name. Suited to delivery leads, product-adjacent roles and project managers whose organisation has moved to iterative delivery.
The paper is weighted across five domains. Weightings show how much of the examination each area accounts for, so preparation can be planned against them.
| Domain | Weighting | |
|---|---|---|
| 01 | Delivery planning and scope control | 25% |
| 02 | Stakeholder engagement and governance | 20% |
| 03 | Risk, issue and dependency management | 20% |
| 04 | Schedule, cost and resource discipline | 20% |
| 05 | Closure, benefits and lessons learned | 15% |
Agile roles attract a high volume of applicants holding attendance-based certificates. An assessed credential separates you from that pile, because it tests practice rather than participation.
No. The Associate tier is an entry point: it assumes no prior formal project management experience and tests understanding of practice rather than years served.
Online, monitored by a live proctor alongside automated integrity checks. You book a slot after enrolling and can sit it from home or your workplace.
Two years from issue. The expiry date is printed on the certificate and shown on the public verification record, so a lapsed credential is always visible.
A certificate carrying a unique credential ID and verification QR code, plus a digital badge hosted independently by LiveCertification for LinkedIn, a CV or an email signature.
Yes, without contacting us. Every credential ID resolves on our public register, and the digital badge carries its own independent verification page.
You receive a result breakdown by domain so you know where to focus. A retake can be booked from your dashboard at a lower fee than the original enrolment.
