Measure the value that agile actually delivers
Most organisations adopt agile to move faster. Few can prove it’s working. The PAL-EBM course gives leaders and practitioners a rigorous framework — Evidence-Based Management — to measure organisational agility across four Key Value Areas and use that evidence to make better decisions.
MORNING
EBM foundations
Understand the four Key Value Areas: Current Value, Unrealised Value, Ability to Innovate, and Time to Market. Learn how EBM connects empirical measurement to strategic decision-making.
AFTERNOON
Applying EBM in practice
Apply EBM metrics to real investment decisions, executive reporting, and portfolio governance. Practice setting Intermediate Strategic Goals and measuring progress toward them empirically.
AUDIENCE

Your question won't be in the textbook. Your trainer's answer shouldn't be either.
ZXM trainers have applied EBM at every level — from single agile teams to enterprise-wide transformation programs. They have used it in government, banking, and utilities — environments where the demand for evidence is high and the tolerance for vague agile promises is low.
ZXM’s lead trainers — Matt and Mia — are Professional Scrum Trainers (PSTs) certified by Scrum.org who apply EBM in their executive advisory engagements across government and enterprise.
