Path to Agility Training – Rocket Nine Solutions

Path to Agility [P2A]

About Path to Agility

Organizations today are facing massive challenges when it comes to achieving agility. Path to Agility helps organizations focus on successfully achieving desired results when undergoing an Agile transformation.

Over 50% of Agile transformations fail to deliver on the benefits of Agile, costing companies millions of dollars, while increasing frustration and churn. Path to Agility is the solution to this growing problem.

Minimum Requirements

This is not an introductory course on Agile concepts, Agile frameworks, or Agile Scaling frameworks. Because of the advanced content in the Certified Path to Agility Practitioner workshop, participants should have some experience and/or training on foundational Agile concepts such as the Agile Manifesto, Agile Values and Principles, and implementation frameworks applicable to their organization (Scrum, SAFe, Kanban, etc,).

While it is not required to have any specific certifications, such as CSM, CSPO, or PSM I, attending a foundational course and having some experience implementing Agile would be very beneficial for attendees to understand and apply the concepts as a Certified Path to Agility Practitioner.
