Why Evidence-Based Management?

With markets and customer needs constantly changing, organisations need information and evidence that helps them adapt quickly to new challenges and opportunities so that they can deliver greater value and achieve true business agility. Yet often organisations that use Agile product development techniques use traditional management approaches, expecting leaders to set firm long-term goals and manage progress toward them with dashboards of static metrics.

That is why Scrum.org created the Evidence-Based Management (EBM) framework which is an Agile approach to help leaders guide their teams toward continuously improving customer outcomes, organisational capabilities, and business results. EBM focuses on customer value and intentional experimentation to systematically improve an organisation's performance and achieve its strategic goals.

What you'll learn

In this one-day course, participants learn what EBM is and how to apply it through hands-on, activity-based learning.

Understand the essential aspects of goals and measures and how they influence behaviours and an organisation’s culture and values
Help organisations embrace empiricism as a leadership approach, using experimentation to incrementally steer toward goals
Appreciate how goals and trust act together to enable autonomy, transparency, and value delivery
Correlate market leadership and sustainability to curiosity, adaptation, and empiricism
Use EBM and its Key Value Areas to focus measurements on improving market value and operational capabilities
Use empiricism to set and achieve strategic goals, managing the unknown and complexity through experimentation
Create a cultural environment using clear goals, appropriate measures, and trust to enable self-management
Shift the conversation away from team performance metrics toward customer-centricity and improving customer outcomes
Drive operational improvements using four Key Value Areas (Unrealised Value, Current Value, Time-to-Market, Ability to Innovate)
