Agile Fundamentals (ICP) is a widely recognized entry-level credential that demonstrates an understanding of the Agile mindset, values, principles, and foundational concepts. Without focusing on any single Agile methodology or framework (Scrum, Kanban, XP, DSDM, SAFe, etc.), it grounds participants in what it means to “be agile while doing agile.” The course serves as an introduction that prepares participants for ICAgile’s more advanced product and technical certifications, and is designed for professionals across both business and technology.
