What happened to the CAL Essentials, CAL Teams, CAL Organizations, and CAL Advanced Education, Validated Practice, and Peer Workshop?
On April 15, 2024, the courses known as CAL Essentials, CAL Teams, CAL Organizations, and CAL Advanced Education, Validated Practice, and Peer Workshop were retired.
These offerings have been refreshed to better align the CAL program to the overall Scrum Alliance product portfolio and to simplify the structure of the program track.
The best elements of the former CAL courses have been condensed into Certified Agile Leader® 1 (CAL 1™) and Certified Agile Leader® 2 (CAL 2™) so that you get the benefit of all the material from one course.
What happens to my existing CAL certifications?
What if I previously earned more than one CAL Ess/T/O certification?
Eligible students will have their badges automatically converted to a CAL 1 badge as previous CAL Essentials, Teams, and Organizations badges will become extinct.
Badges converted to CAL 1 will hold the same ‘Active until’ expiration date as their previous CAL Ess/T/O badge. Any inactive CAL Ess/T/O badges automatically converted to CAL 1 will expire.
What if I previously earned only one CAL Ess/T/O certification?
Students who have only completed a single CAL Ess/T/O course, have not successfully met the learning requirements for a CAL 1 badge. Students who hold single CAL certifications are encouraged to take a CAL 1 course.
What if I previously earned the CAL Advanced Education, Validated Practice, and Peer Workshop certification?
The Certified Agile Leader Advanced Education-Validated Practice-Peer Workshop was sunset as of April 15, 2024. Students who have successfully met the requirements for completion of both the previous and newly refactored CAL program track will receive a CAL 1 badge after April 15th, and a CAL 2 badge after June 10th, 2024.
What if I previously earned the deprecated CAL I credential?
CAL I credential holders may redesignate to a CAL 1 badge via request to Scrum Alliance Support after April 15, 2024. Redesignation to a CAL 1 badge will include renewal fees and SEU requirements.
What do I need to know about the new CAL 1 or CAL 2 course?
