Invensis Learning is an EXIN Accredited Training Provider in New Zealand, approved to deliver official ASF training using EXIN-aligned courseware and the EXIN Agile Scrum Foundation Certification Examination Content Outline(ECO).
The Agile Scrum Foundation (ASF) exam validates your understanding of agile and Scrum fundamentals as the foundation for participating in modern delivery teams. The certification focuses on the agile way of thinking, the Agile Manifesto and its 12 principles, the Scrum framework (roles, events, artefacts), the Scrum team and its responsibilities, agile estimation and planning techniques (story points, planning poker, velocity), and an introduction to complementary practices that support agile delivery. It is designed for professionals who want to demonstrate their grasp of agile values and Scrum mechanics and contribute effectively as members of agile teams in real-world delivery environments.

This training builds practical, exam-ready capability across the five EXIN Agile Scrum Foundation topic areas. By the end, you can contribute to a Scrum team, use agile planning and monitoring tools, and speak the language of iterative delivery with confidence.
You will learn the agile way of thinking that underpins Scrum: the four values and twelve principles of the Agile Manifesto, the agile mindset, empirical process control through transparency, inspection and adaptation, and how Scrum sits alongside Kanban, Lean and XP.
Work confidently with the Scrum framework as defined in the Scrum Guide, including the Scrum Master, Product Owner and Developer roles, the Sprint and its events, the Product Backlog, Sprint Backlog and Increment, the Definition of Done, and the Sprint Goal.
Apply agile planning and estimation techniques, from writing user stories and acceptance criteria to relative estimation with story points and planning poker, Sprint Planning, backlog refinement and velocity-based release planning.
Track and communicate progress using burndown and burnup charts, velocity, and cumulative flow diagrams, and understand how the Scrum Master keeps progress transparent for stakeholders and governance bodies.
Build awareness of scaling approaches such as Scrum of Scrums, LeSS, SAFe and Nexus, agile-friendly contracts, applying Scrum beyond software, adopting Scrum in organisations, and continuous improvement through retrospectives.
Prepare for the EXIN Agile Scrum Foundation exam with practice questions mapped to the five topic areas, so you are ready for the 40-question, closed-book, 60-minute exam and its 65% pass mark.
