- SPRINT — Sense, Plan, Release, Iterate, Navigate, Track: agile as a leadership practice, not a methodology
- Participants leave with a sprint backlog, a retrospective format, a change brief and an agile metrics dashboard
- Works whether or not the organisation has formally adopted agile
- No prior agile knowledge assumed — every exercise uses the participant's own team
Agile Management Practices for Leaders Trainer Toolkit by Bodhih Training — built on programmes delivered to 2,000+ companies since 2008.
The workshop is on the calendar. The material isn’t.
Agile content assumes a software team
Most agile material is about Scrum ceremonies and story points. Your clients' leaders run finance, operations or service teams — they need the mindset and tools, not the jargon.
Retrospectives nobody acts on
Participants have seen stand-ups and retros become rituals. You need a design that shows leaders how to make learning cycles actually change the work.
Long build for a broad topic
Sensing change, adaptive planning, MVOs, retrospectives, psychological safety and metrics — building all of that into a coherent two days takes weeks.
Picture the evening before your programme.
Imagine starting Day 1 by asking every leader when their last plan was still accurate a quarter later. The laughter is knowing. You explain that this is not a planning failure but the normal condition of complex organisations — and that agile management is the leadership approach designed for it.
Then they get practical. They Sense their environment with a VUCA assessment, Plan in short cycles with a sprint backlog built from their own team's work, and define a Minimum Viable Outcome so they can Release value in small, testable increments. Every step is laid out in your Facilitator Guide.
Day 2 is about learning and leading: facilitating a sprint retrospective that produces real change, assessing psychological safety, Navigating ambiguity with a change brief, and Tracking what matters on an agile metrics dashboard. They leave with a 90-day agile practice plan to start the next morning.
Once you've delivered it, you'll probably find agile stops sounding like an IT word to your clients — and starts sounding like how good managers work.

- Plan iteratively using a sprint backlog built from real team work
- Define a Minimum Viable Outcome and deliver value in small, testable increments
- Facilitate a sprint retrospective that leads to implemented improvements
- Assess and strengthen psychological safety in their team

Walk in with data. Walk out with proof.
Trainers who measure before and after design sharper sessions — and get rebooked. AssessAll, our sister assessment platform, has assessments that sit naturally alongside this programme.
Walk in knowing where every participant starts.
Pair Agile Management Practices for Leaders with an AssessAll assessment. Participants take it before the workshop, so you can tune the emphasis to the room; they retake it afterwards, so you can show the client what actually moved. Better-targeted sessions, and evidence that wins the next booking.

That is the design work already done for you — research, session plans, slides, activities and assessments. Spend it facilitating, selling your next programme, or simply switching off.

Agile Management Practices for Leaders toolkit — FAQs
Already bought? Resend my linkWhat is the SPRINT agile management framework?
SPRINT is the six-part structure of the programme: Sense (reading the environment), Plan (adaptive sprint planning), Release (incremental value), Iterate (retrospectives), Navigate (leading through ambiguity) and Track (lean agile metrics). It treats agile as a leadership practice rather than a project method.

No. It is a leadership development programme. No prior agile knowledge is assumed, and the tools apply whether or not the organisation uses a formal agile framework.
