    I think one of the most valuable aspects of the platform has been the platform's API. This allows us to be able to really customise the way that we share badges, distribute badges, expire our badges... More importantly, they just create solutions at scale that are otherwise impossible...we're delivering 10s of thousands of badges per month. The only way that can be set up is with a robust automation strategy and Credly's APIs enable that for us.

    Credly templates are incredibly easy to use. By having multiple opportunities for the issuer to share point-of-sale, informational URLs, we are in a position to use our badges as learner promotion. This is a great opportunity for learners to build their digital resume and for us to build our digital footprint.

    Insights & Best Practices

    Lessons from Leading Organizations to Enhance Your Credentialing Programs

    • Intuitive Credential Management: Credly offers an intuitive interface that allows our company to easily manage our credentials and create additional badges within minutes. Additionally, we’re empowered to create and manage credentials at scale with their simple, yet thorough REST API service.
    • Verifiable Organizational Badges: Recently Scaled Agile took on delivering organizational badges as a verifiable way for our partners, who deliver our courses and training, to share their level of partnership on company collateral and social media sites. The criteria section of each organizational badge has greatly helped our organization compartmentalize each partner requirement making it easy for any person viewing this badge.
    • Utilize Available Credly Resources: Additionally with the recent move to organizational badges, we have taken advantage of the available resources in the academy to enable each partner. This content has been extremely helpful with robust tutorials and videos that assist in understanding the key differences between an individual badge and an organization badge.

    Looking Ahead

    Scaled Agile Unveils New Partner Program and Advanced Role Certifications

    This is an exciting time for Scaled Agile. On October 1st, we launched a new partner program with tiers ranging from boutique consultancies to full global transformation partners. This is Scaled Agile’s first dive into organizational badges, and we believe there will be a lot of value in providing these based on a long-standing community need.

    Another exciting initiative we have taken on are Advanced Role Certification Paths. These paths combine several individually-badge products (Skills and Micro-credentials) with a rubric-based learning lab at the end resulting in a final Advanced Role Certification badge. This new endeavor allows Scaled Agile to pair content with roles and allows the participants to achieve advancement or upskilling making them a differentiator in the marketplace.
