About the Agile Foundation Certification
The Agile Foundation certificate is intended for those who are relatively new to the concept of “Agile” and would like to discover what it exactly entails.
The idea behind this exam is that you are serious about delving into the theory of Agile. How you decide to do that will be up to you. You can read books, articles, or blogs. You can also watch videos, listen to podcasts, attend events, or observe others who are working with Agile in practice. Or another possibility is to follow a course in Agile.
The Agile Foundation Exam is an independent exam meaning it is not tied to a specific method. If you have the Agile Foundation certificate, you will have demonstrated you understand what Agile means and that you can identify the methods and concepts most commonly used in Agile organizations.
