AgileSHIFT is a framework dedicated to ‘enterprise agility’: the ability of an organization to adapt to new opportunities, challenges, and circumstances.

AgileSHIFT works by making business transformation a priority of everyone involved in a business, regardless of their department, position, or level of experience.

It uses five principles and practices to enable transformation across entire organizations, enabling greater efficiency and focus while also optimizing ROIs.

AXELOS is the joint venture company behind AgileSHIFT, along with several other best practice frameworks such as PRINCE2, MSP, and ITIL 4

Increasing enterprise agility can offer a number of advantages. Organizations are able to respond to opportunities quickly and efficiently. AgileSHIFT also creates a greater sense of collaboration between departments and establishes long term cultures that can continue to benefit.

The AgileSHIFT Certification exam is a closed book exam consisting of 33 multiple-choice questions. There is a 45 minute time limit (57 in countries where English is a second language) and the pass mark is 60%.

AgileSHIFT is extremely useful for those involved in managing business transformation, and can be applied to any organization regardless of size, industry, or location.

AgileSHIFT practitioners can often enjoy greater responsibilities and higher salaries than non-certified colleagues.

AgileShift follows a generalized approach, meaning that virtually any organization can benefit from using it, regardless of size, industry, sector, or location.

AgileSHIFT is generalized and adaptive. It can be used alongside other frameworks, such as PRINCE2 and ITIL 4.
