        It is such a privilege to have won at the IPMA Excellence awards, an amazing learning experience that I will never forget!

        Tanja Haringa
        IPMA Agile Leader of the Year 2020 Silver Winner
        I was asked to apply by IPMA, I just passed certification for Agile Leadership IPMA-B. The model for IPMA is competence based irrespective of the agile model you use. It was very beneficial to me as a person as I learned more about required competences next to the ones I already use. On top it is an international award and therefore is known in multiple different organizations worldwide. I am known now as an agile leader even more than after my certification within my organization but also with my valued customers. I learned more about competences I can use for Agile leadership, and also from the feedback I received from the company I wrote the award winning Agile Leadership document!

        Stop and think about what you are doing. Make conclusions from your projects. What you are doing good and what can you improve. What difficulties you faced in your project and how you overcame them? What will you do differently in your next projects?
