    What Is the AgilePM Foundation and Practitioner Certification?UntitledYour Route to Governed Agile Delivery

    The Agile PM Foundation and Practitioner Certification Course (AgilePM) is a two-level, DSDM-based qualification that teaches project professionals how to run agile projects with real governance and control. AgilePM certification training in Japan from Invensis Learning takes you through both levels in one combined programme, building the knowledge to pass the closed-book Foundation exam and the applied judgement to pass the open-book Practitioner exam. The framework is owned and published by the Agile Business Consortium, and the course is aligned to the current edition of the AgilePM Handbook and the current AgilePM Foundation and Practitioner exam syllabi. You learn the eight AgilePM principles, the six-phase lifecycle, the business, technical and management roles, MoSCoW prioritisation and timeboxing, so time and cost stay fixed while scope flexes to guarantee delivery. As Japanese enterprises scale digital transformation and agile spreads beyond software teams, employers increasingly want delivery leaders who can pair agile speed with governance. Start your AgilePM journey with Invensis Learning and prepare for both credentials with a clear, supported path.

    What AgilePM Skills Unlock in JapanRoles, Demand and Pay

    Governed agile delivery has become a sought-after skill across Japan, valued by IT services firms, consultancies, BFSI and manufacturers running large digital transformation portfolios. As agile spreads beyond software teams and enterprises scale DX, employers increasingly want leaders who can pair iterative delivery with control. Demand spans scrum master, agile project manager, delivery lead and agile coach roles, and here is what the market is telling us right now.

    Market Forces Making Agile Governance Essential in Japan

    DX Delivers Modernisation, Not Value

    About 76.8% of Japanese companies promote DX, yet only around a third report notable results. AgilePM's focus on early benefit and strategic alignment is built to close that value gap.

    AgilePM connects delivery to business benefit

    Top-Down Structures Slow Agile

    Bureaucratic, hierarchical decision-making stalls agile adoption in traditional Japanese organisations. AgilePM offers the structure and governance that lets leaders adopt agile with confidence.

    AgilePM adds governance agile teams can adopt

    Severe IT Talent Shortage

    METI projects a shortfall of 800,000 IT engineers by 2030. Professionals who can lead and govern agile delivery are scarce, making credentialed AgilePM leaders highly sought after.

    AgilePM makes certified delivery leaders stand out

    Governance Gap in Scaling Agile

    Agile is now the dominant method in Japanese tech, but many teams lack a project-level governance layer beyond Scrum. AgilePM supplies the lifecycle, roles and control that scaling demands.

    AgilePM provides project-level governance

    Change Management Overlooked

    Japanese DX often focuses on IT infrastructure while neglecting people and process change. AgilePM's roles, collaboration and communication practices address the human side of delivery.

    AgilePM builds roles and collaboration skills

    Enterprise AI Raises the Stakes

    As firms embed AI into mission-critical systems, disciplined iterative delivery matters more than ever. AgilePM's timeboxing and incremental approach reduce risk on high-stakes programmes.

    AgilePM is more than a certificate. It is a career multiplier for professionals who can deliver agile projects with governance. Join the leaders closing Japan's delivery gap. Start your journey today.

    What Our Learners Say

    Cleared Both AgilePM Exams

    "The combined programme made the two AgilePM levels feel connected. The Foundation content built my confidence, and the scenario practice for the open-book Practitioner exam taught me how to navigate the handbook under time pressure. I passed both."

    Governance I Use Every Day

    "As a scrum master, I understood delivery but not project-level governance. Learning the eight principles, the lifecycle and MoSCoW gave me a framework I now use every day to keep our timeboxes on track."

    Practical and Well Paced

    "The trainer explained timeboxing and prioritisation with real examples that matched the projects I run. The mock exams showed me exactly where to focus before the Practitioner paper."

    A Shared Delivery Language for Our Teams

    "We rolled out AgilePM across our delivery teams to close the governance gap in our DX programme. The onsite sessions gave everyone a shared vocabulary, and our projects now link clearly to business benefit."

    Frequently Asked QuestionsHere's everything you may ask...

    AgilePM (Agile Project Management) is a structured agile framework based on DSDM that provides eight principles, a defined lifecycle, roles, MoSCoW prioritisation and timeboxing. The combined Foundation and Practitioner course suits project managers, team leaders, business analysts and PRINCE2 holders adopting agile delivery.

    General

    What is AgilePM and who is this course for?

    AgilePM (Agile Project Management) is a structured agile framework based on DSDM that provides eight principles, a defined lifecycle, roles, MoSCoW prioritisation and timeboxing. The combined Foundation and Practitioner course suits project managers, team leaders, business analysts and PRINCE2 holders adopting agile delivery.

    Is AgilePM certification worth it in Japan?

    Yes. As Japanese enterprises scale digital transformation and agile spreads beyond software, employers want leaders who can govern agile delivery. Agile project managers in Japan average around 10.4 million yen a year, and governed agile talent is scarce, so the credential is a strong career investment.

    Who owns and publishes the AgilePM framework?

    The DSDM-based AgilePM framework is owned and published by the Agile Business Consortium, formerly the DSDM Consortium. The course is aligned to the current edition of the AgilePM Handbook and the current Foundation and Practitioner exam syllabi.

    Is AgilePM recognised internationally?

    Yes. AgilePM is recognised in over 150 countries and is especially strong where structured project governance is required alongside agile delivery. The credential is portable across sectors and regions, which matters for professionals in Japan's global companies.

    What are the eight AgilePM principles?

    Focus on the business need; deliver on time; collaborate; never compromise quality; build incrementally from firm foundations; develop iteratively; communicate continuously and clearly; and demonstrate control. The course teaches you to apply all eight in real project situations.

    Pricing

    How much does AgilePM training cost in Japan?

    Training fees vary by format, whether live virtual, onsite or 1-to-1, so pricing is available on request. The two AgilePM exam fees are billed separately and also vary. Contact a learning advisor for a current quote tailored to your chosen format.

    What is included in the course fee?

    The training fee typically includes AgilePM-aligned courseware for both levels, practice questions, mock exams, industry case studies and learner support, plus a course completion certificate. Exam fees are usually quoted separately. Request a quote to confirm inclusions for your plan.

    Are the exam fees included in the training price?

    Exam fees are generally billed separately from the training fee, as the combined programme leads to two separate AgilePM examinations. Verify the current inclusion and exam pricing with your learning advisor before you enrol.

    Do you offer group or corporate pricing?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for delivery teams, PMOs and transformation groups. Ask about corporate pricing for a tailored quote for your organisation in Japan.

    What payment options are available?

    We accept major credit and debit cards and bank transfers, and offer instalment options on selected plans. Speak with a learning advisor to choose the option that suits you.

    Exam

    What is the format of the AgilePM Foundation exam?

    The Foundation exam has 50 multiple-choice, single-answer questions, lasts 40 minutes and is closed book. The pass mark is 50%, meaning 25 out of 50 correct. There are no formal prerequisites to sit it.

    What is the format of the AgilePM Practitioner exam?

    The Practitioner exam has 4 scenario-based questions worth 15 marks each, 60 marks in total, and lasts 2 hours. It is open book, so the AgilePM Handbook is permitted. The pass mark is 50%, meaning 30 out of 60 marks.

    How many exams are in the combined programme?

    Two separate exams. You sit the Foundation exam first, then the Practitioner exam. Both must be passed to hold both credentials. The combined training prepares you for each in one programme.

    What if I do not pass an exam on the first attempt?

    You can re-sit an AgilePM exam if needed. Retake policies and any fees vary, and selected plans include retake support, so preparation with our mock exams is designed to help you pass with confidence. Ask a learning advisor about re-sit options.

    What does open book mean for the Practitioner exam?

    The AgilePM Handbook is permitted during the Practitioner exam. However, the scenario questions require analysis and judgement, so you cannot simply look up answers. Efficient handbook navigation and deep method knowledge are both essential, and the course practises both.

    Course Content

    What topics are covered in the AgilePM training?

    The programme covers the AgilePM philosophy and eight principles, the six-phase lifecycle and products, the business, technical and management roles, requirements and MoSCoW prioritisation, timeboxing and quality, and planning, control and risk, at Foundation and Practitioner depth.

    Do I need prior experience or can a beginner take it?

    AgilePM Foundation has no formal prerequisites, so beginners are welcome. To sit the Practitioner exam you need Foundation certification first. The combined programme guides you from awareness to applied practice, so no prior agile qualification is required to start.

    Are mock exams and practice questions included?

    Yes. The programme includes practice questions and mock exams for both the Foundation and Practitioner levels, plus industry case studies, to help you identify weak areas and build readiness for each exam.

    Is the courseware aligned to the current AgilePM syllabus?

    Yes. The courseware is aligned to the current edition of the AgilePM Handbook and the current AgilePM Foundation and Practitioner exam syllabi published in support of the framework owned by the Agile Business Consortium.

    How is the training delivered and how long is it?

    The combined programme is delivered over roughly 40 hours, typically as a five-day intensive or spread across more days depending on the schedule. Formats include live virtual, onsite classroom and focused 1-to-1 training.
