Invensis Learning is an EXIN Accredited Training Provider in South Africa, 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.
Agile and Scrum skills are in strong demand across South Africa as the big four banks, fintechs, telecoms and retailers scale digital delivery. An EXIN Agile Scrum Foundation credential is a recognised entry point for team members, opening a clear path from project coordinator and business analyst roles towards Product Owner, Scrum Master and Agile Coach positions. Here is what the local market is telling us right now.
Agile Scrum Foundation is more than a certificate. It is your entry into agile delivery. Join professionals across South Africa who are building the Scrum skills employers want. Start your journey today.
South Africa's digital economy is expanding as banks, telecoms and retailers scale agile delivery, and employers increasingly separate certified agile professionals from the rest. Here is which side of that line you want to be on.
