The Certified Agile Leader® 1 (CAL 1™) training is an immersive exploration of the agile leadership mindset, culture and practices critical for harnessing the power of your organization and re-imaging it in the face of complexity.  While focusing on the role of agile executives and leaders, this training provides tools and techniques necessary to transform and sustain the organizational change needed to evolve while continuing to deliver business value.  

IncrementOne’s interactive classes are designed to maximize engagement, understanding and retention, blending lecture and classroom discussion with exercises, games, case studies and simulations. Whether online or in-person, leaders work together on practices, exploring their own challenges and developing potential solutions for challenges they bring into the class that they can take further after training.

Every course covers the core learning objectives, while leaving room for deeper conversations led by the questions and scenarios leaders bring up in class. The class includes comprehensive case studies focused on applying leadership concepts and techniques.


"I found the experiential element of the class to be very engaging. The exercises really reinforced the material. This was the best Scrum-related training I've ever experienced, and I've had a fair amount."
