Agilekrc has announced the launch of its Estimating for Agile course in London, England, with the programme available from November 2025 to professionals seeking a recognised foundation-level certification. The course focuses on why accurate estimating matters in Agile environments and where it can improve planning confidence, stakeholder communication, and value delivery across an organisation. Aimed at individuals and teams involved in creating or receiving estimates on Agile projects, including project, programme and portfolio professionals and senior managers, the training is designed to embed core principles, practical techniques, and collaboration practices across the delivery lifecycle. The initiative arrives amid continued demand for credible skills development in Agile, with the provider positioning the foundation-level course as a structured route to strengthen estimating discipline without disrupting busy schedules.
The programme’s structure and timing are intended to be accessible to those who manage estimates as part of complex delivery, from discovery through to release planning and ongoing refinement. Speaking about the launch, Jay Gao, Operations Manager at agileKRC, said, “Estimating for Agile is designed to help teams and leaders establish a shared language for uncertainty, risk and delivery forecasting, so that estimates support better decisions rather than constrain them. The course focuses on practical styles and techniques that can be applied immediately, while keeping the emphasis on collaboration and transparency.” Gao added, “By aligning principles with day-to-day practices, the training aims to increase confidence in planning and value delivery across diverse contexts, whether the work is in product development, digital transformation, service improvement, or change at programme and portfolio level.”
The Estimating for Agile Foundation course includes the certification exam, free resits, self-paced study and interactive learning materials designed to reinforce understanding through application. Further details about the course content, sample exam format, and enrolment options are available via agilekrc’s course page at Estimating for Agile Foundation training courses. For professionals interested in a structured starting point, the foundation syllabus sets out principles, estimating styles, lifecycle touchpoints, and guidance on presenting estimates in formats that are easy to interpret at governance forums. While the provider notes that the training is competitively priced and delivered online, the emphasis remains on building practical capability that transfers directly into Agile settings. Readers who wish to evaluate whether the material aligns with existing practices can review the overview and curriculum before making any commitment.
The launch comes as organisations continue to refine Agile practices to handle uncertainty, assumptions and risk more explicitly, especially where portfolio governance requires defensible forecasting. Commenting on implementation, Jay Gao, Operations Manager at agileKRC, said, “Teams often inherit habits around estimating that were never designed for iterative delivery. This course helps participants recalibrate those habits, so estimates inform prioritisation, sequencing and stakeholder expectations with more clarity.” The course page can be accessed at agileKRC for broader information about training provision and organisational context. The programme highlights techniques for estimating across a lifecycle, with attention to communication, calibration and presenting ranges. In practice, this means treating estimates as living artefacts that evolve with evidence, enabling decision-makers to manage risk and value incrementally rather than anchor plans to early-stage assumptions.
The potential consequences of more rigorous estimating in Agile environments extend beyond project predictability. When teams adopt a consistent approach to handling uncertainty, estimation can improve cross-functional dialogue, reduce escalation triggered by variance, and support transparent trade-offs between scope, time and outcomes. Over time, stakeholders can expect clearer signals about delivery confidence, allowing governance to focus on sequence and value rather than debate over absolute precision. As organisations face shifting priorities and constrained budgets, the capacity to present estimates with context may help shape investment conversations and portfolio-level choices. The Estimating for Agile course positions this discipline as a practical capability rather than a theoretical exercise, and its foundation-level framing suggests a wider applicability to teams that operate in hybrid environments or are evolving practices incrementally.
