Certified Agile Service Manager (CASM) certification course with exam

Certified Agile Service Manager (CASM)® is a two-day training course that helps delegates provide an introduction to Agile Service Management, the application and integration of agile thinking into service management processes and process design projects. The course fully prepares you to pass the Certified Agile Service Manager® (CASM) exam.

Agile thinking improves IT's efficiency and enables IT to continue to deliver value despite changing requirements.

As Dev and Ops have been working in parallel, with Dev focused on Agile/Scrum and Ops focused on ITSM/ITIL®, this course strives to bring individual achievements together to deliver full business value. The course cross-fertilizes Agile and ITSM methodologies to support Agile Service Management from start to finish so that Dev starts managing services instead of products and Ops and ITSM become more agile by scaling to “just enough” processes, leading to improved workflow and time to value.
