Professional Agile Leadership (PAL) training

PAL-E, or Professional Agile Leadership Essentials, helps managers understand how to lead teams using Agile methods. Agile relies on leaders who empower teams, remove obstacles, and ensure they have what they need. Leaders in Agile teams have a special role in supporting and guiding their teams while holding them accountable for their work. They help teams organize themselves while making sure everyone knows their role and works well together.

This course is designed to help leaders learn how to lead Agile teams effectively. It teaches them when Agile works best and when it might not be the right approach. Leaders also learn how to identify top performers in Agile teams and understand the consequences of poor leadership on team performance. They discover how to focus on results rather than just keeping busy. Additionally, the course explains the reasons behind Scrum practices, like why teams focus on objectives instead of tasks, how to ensure team members deliver, and how success is measured.

PAL-E is suitable for leaders leading Agile transformations, managers developing people on Scrum Teams, and leaders of Scrum teams. Even Scrum Masters can benefit from this course by gaining insights into coaching and working with leadership to better support Agile teams. Through PAL-E, leaders learn why a command-and-control leadership style doesn't work in complex environments. They also learn to recognize high performers, better support their teams, and measure success effectively. The course emphasizes continuous learning and improvement and offers flexible scheduling to accommodate busy leaders.
