Agile Product Management Certificate
The Agile Product Management Graduate Certificate is ideal for graduate students and
working professionals. Those completing the program will be awarded the Graduate Certificate
in Agile Product Management and completion will be recognized on the student鈥檚 official

Agile product management is the industry standard for increasing product quality and
reducing time to market for team-driven development of complex products.
For the past several years the fastest-growing skills are digital skills and two that
are among the top 10 each year are Agile product management and Scrum certification.
Agile methodology has been widely embraced by the tech industry, but it has rapidly
grown and adopted by many industries and organizations across disciplines, including
data science, manufacturing, bioscience, healthcare, and others.
Agile and Scrum methodologies allow teams building digital and other products, especially
in AI, biotechnology, cyber security, and R&D, to respond quickly to changing requirements, customer expectations, and market conditions, while maintaining a high
level of collaboration and quality. This graduate certificate delivers content to
build these high-demand skillsets.
This level of professional training often occurs after employment, costing the employer
time and money. WSU students can enhance their employability by being industry ready
and obtaining professional Scrum certifications while pursuing their degree.
