Agile Essentials
Rigid planning can't keep up with a market that keeps moving. Agile Essentials builds the mindset underneath every framework — the values, principles, and behaviors that let a person, a team, or a whole organization stop just "doing" agile and start actually being agile.
$350 · Taught by Scott Dunn, Certified Scrum Trainer · Digital badge, 5 SEUs & PDUs, and a 2-year Scrum Alliance membership included

The credential
Agile Essentials is an official Scrum Alliance microcredential. Attend the live session, participate, and it's yours — no exam, no follow-up assignment.
What you'll learn
Seven modules that build from what agile actually is to how it plays out in your own day-to-day work — and beyond it.
Module 01
The Agile Manifesto, the values and principles underneath it, and a plain-language tour of the frameworks built on top of them.
Module 02
How agile teams are structured, how the roles differ from traditional ones, and how the job of a manager changes inside an agile organization.
Module 03
What "doing well" looks like on an agile team versus a traditional one, and how that shift changes what you're actually being measured on.
Module 04
The operating rhythms that carry a team day to day, and how to find your footing — and your opportunities — inside them.
Module 05
The everyday tools of the work: writing user stories that hold up and prioritizing what actually matters first.
Module 06
What an agile transformation actually looks like in motion — the obstacles that show up almost every time, and how to work through them.
Module 07
Agile didn't stay in software development. The closing module works through how the same mindset applies in marketing, healthcare, operations, and any field built around complex, changing work.
Who it's for
A genuine beginner course that still holds up for people who've been working in agile environments for years.
New to agile ways of working and looking for a clear, practical starting point.
Adjusting to a role that looks different in an agile organization than it did in a traditional one.
Sponsoring or leading an agile shift and wanting the same foundation their teams are building on.
Marketing, healthcare, logistics, product design, and beyond — agile isn't limited to software teams anymore.
Already working in agile environments and looking to formalize that knowledge with a recognized credential.
Adding an in-demand, recognized credential to a resume, with no prior agile background required.
Straight answer on prerequisites: there are none. This course is designed for complete beginners and seasoned practitioners alike. Basic familiarity with Scrum can help you place a few examples, but it isn't required to get real value out of the session.

Your trainer
Founder, Rocket Nine Solutions · Certified Scrum Trainer
Scott has spent two decades inside agile teams and transformations — as a developer, a Scrum Master, a coach, and eventually a trainer to thousands of people at Fortune 500 and Inc 500 companies alike. Agile Essentials is the course he built for the very first step: the mindset that everything else in agile is built on top of. Come with zero background or fifteen years of it — either way, he'll meet you where you are.
Questions
It's a foundational understanding of what agility actually means — not just in software, but in any field built around complex, changing work. Whether you're upskilling a team or building your own resume, it's a fast, recognized way to get there.
