During the Agile Master assessment, you will be challenged along these 5 paths:

1. Your vision on Agility

Did you follow others, or do you have your vision on Agility? You can, of course, apply Agile, but do you also have your view, or have tailored Agile to your situation and environment? Alternatively, maybe you bring along new and innovative elements?

2. How you lead change

Have you been able to implement the change yourself, or did you need help from others? Did you have a leading role in the shift, and in what organizational size & complexity? Did you lead the change from scratch or was the change (or part of it) already started? To what extent were you a role model for others? Leading change is also about leading others. Have you lead, inspired, motivated others to play a leading role in the change?

3. Your behavior

What behavior did you display in the change? Passive, active, or proactive? Did you show a variety in style to increase effectiveness? How authentic where you, also in harsher managerial environments? Were you able to change your behavior, and reflect at the moment?

4. The impact you make

What impact have you created — in general, and on the goals set for the change? Also, on a team level, project, program, tribe, or department level? Moreover, on an organizational level? Was your impact the logical result of your actions, or did you profit from initiatives taken by others?

5. The environment you work in

Was the environment multi-team, department, tribe, or organizational level? With a small, medium, or large change delta? What about dependencies, cultural differences, external parties, politics, multiple locations, or countries? If your environment was mainly the (development) team level, this is not the exam for you – have a look at the Agile Practitioner exam instead.

During the final exam day, you will also be observed during:

A. You visionary presentation

With your presentation, you can present a new topic, or you can deepen or innovate an existing topic. Key to both is that it is your vision or idea. Our assessment is based on to what extent we find this topic ‘master worthy,’ and that you inspire us and keep our attention during your

presentation.

B. Workshops you participate in

During the day you will participate in two workshops. We will assess this topic on the degree in which you participate in the workshop and help the team to achieve results.
