AI-Native Value Architect with AI-Native Value Architect certification

Most organisations can run AI pilots. The gap is turning that activity into solutions that ship, get adopted, and create measurable value. Scaled Agile has given the role that closes this gap a name: the AI Value Architect.

AI-Native Value Architect is a practical two-day course, plus two hours of on-demand learning, for professionals expected to unlock AI value across teams and stakeholders. It builds the capability to find and frame the value, align the people who matter, and lead initiatives through discovery, design, and delivery in a fast-changing landscape.

You build a working AI solution on day one. Not a slide about one: a functioning multi-agent system you assemble yourself, using a visual tool that needs no code and no technical background. From there you run a real initiative through its full lifecycle, from the first signal that something is worth doing through to the decisions that get it into production.

This is not a course about models or coding. It is about leading the work that makes AI outcomes possible: the conversations, decisions, trade-offs, and governance that determine whether AI initiatives move forward or stall. No prior AI leadership experience required.

In this course, you will:

  • build a working multi-agent AI solution on day one, with no coding required
  • guide a realistic AI initiative from early signals through to delivery decisions
  • unlock value from the AI tools and workflows your organisation already has
  • practise aligning stakeholders across business, delivery, risk, and governance
  • shape a viable AI solution approach, including data, operations, and adoption considerations
  • build the case for investment, including time-to-value and adoption risk
  • use AI as a working tool throughout: generating questions, testing options, and supporting facilitation

Delivered in Australia and New Zealand by Pretty Agile, Charter Partner for Scaled Agile AI-Native training.

Highly Recommended Prerequisite

AI-Native Foundations is not required, and you can attend Value Architect without it. We recommend it because Value Architects lead colleagues through a way of working those colleagues need to have experienced themselves. For the best learning experience, complete AI-Native Foundations first, then attend AI-Native Value Architect.

AI-Native Intensive:  Both courses in one week, one registration, the same trainer across all four days. Useful if you are travelling to attend, or if you would rather do it in a single block than two trips.

What Our Clients Say

Testimonial photo
Jacinta Penn Co-Founder at Fleecegrow

What stood out for me was the focus on how AI can actually fit into real business workflows. It helped me see how the tools I’ve been experimenting with could be used more systematically — and it built a lot of confidence that I’m on the right track. That it's not about leaving it to IT but about using it in our day to day and to provide improved services. What I appreciated most was the balance between curiosity and responsibility — using AI well, not just using it. Thanks so much Em Campbell-Pretty and Adrienne Wilson.

Larissa Ivanova Consultant: Organisational Performance and Improvement at The University of Auckland

What stood out wasn’t just the technology, it was how deeply AI thinking connects to business transformation and people-centered change. I’ve already started applying these ideas at the University of Auckland. It was great to be... learning together with such an inspiring group made the experience even richer. Inspiring to see AI framed not as hype, but as a discipline that helps us design smarter, more human systems.

Big thanks to Em Campbell-Pretty and Adrienne Wilson for making this journey genuinely inspiring. Excited to keep exploring how to “think AI-first” - not just use the tools, but redesign how we do the work.

Why this course exists

AI isn't a side experiment anymore. Most organisations already have ideas, pilots, and tools in motion. What's missing is the capability to turn that activity into outcomes, safely and repeatably. AI initiatives often stall, not because the technology fails, but because the work around it isn't done well:

  • the value isn't clear enough to make good choices
  • stakeholders aren't aligned on value, risk, or intent
  • accountabilities across business, product, and delivery are fuzzy
  • teams don't have a practical way to navigate uncertainty as capabilities and constraints shift

AI-Native Value Architect exists to close that gap: the work between ambition and value.

Who Should Attend

AI-Native Value Architect is for the people expected to make AI work in their organisation, not by building models, but by leading the work that turns AI activity into outcomes.

This course is suited to you if:

  • you're a consultant, coach, or transformation lead guiding AI implementations from concept to production
  • you sit between business and delivery and are asked to align priorities, people, and decisions around AI initiatives
  • you're a product, programme, or delivery leader accountable for AI outcomes
  • you're a Scrum Master, Team Coach, or SPC considering where your role goes next: in AI-Native SAFe, the AI Value Architect is the natural evolution of these roles
  • you're a senior leader sponsoring AI initiatives who needs confidence the investment will land

Participants commonly include consultants, agile coaches, transformation leads, product and delivery leaders, solutions architects, programme managers, and senior technologists from organisations across Australia and internationally.

AI-Native Foundations is a highly recommended prerequisite for this course. Book Foundations here.

What You'll Be Able to Do

After completing AI-Native Value Architect, you'll be able to:

  • coach teams and individuals through AI adoption
  • unlock measurable value from the AI workflows and tools your organisation already has
  • make clearer decisions about where to invest, pause, or stop AI work
  • align stakeholders across business, delivery, risk, and governance
  • run discovery that focuses teams on the right AI problem before solutioning begins
  • design AI initiatives that are viable, fundable, and adoptable
  • guide delivery through uncertainty as AI capability, costs, and constraints shift
  • measure outcomes and carry learning forward into the next initiative

Executives gain confidence in AI-related decisions. Practitioners gain the capability to lead AI work end-to-end.

What You'll Actually Work On

Across the course, you'll practise the role of an AI-Native Value Architect twice over: first by building a working AI solution yourself, then by guiding a realistic initiative from early signals through to delivery decisions.

On day one you build an AI Risk Council: four agents working together, three specialists arguing their corner and a supervisor reconciling them into a single verdict. You will feel the disagreement between them, which is the point.

From there you work a case study through the full lifecycle, the kind of initiative organisations are dealing with right now: stuck between proof of concept and production. You'll align the people who matter, shape the solution approach, and build a roadmap that survives contact with delivery.

You'll work on:

  • building a working multi-agent AI solution, with no coding required
  • clarifying the real problem an AI initiative is trying to solve, before solutioning begins
  • aligning stakeholders on value, risk, and intent
  • framing discovery so teams focus on what actually matters
  • shaping a viable AI solution approach, including data, operations, and risk considerations
  • guiding delivery decisions as constraints and AI capability shift
  • defining what success looks like and how learning is carried forward

Throughout the course, you'll use AI to support your thinking and facilitation, helping generate better questions, test options, and synthesise insights, while keeping human judgement and accountability front and centre.

You won't be training models or writing code.

You will build something that works, and you will practise leading the work that turns AI activity into outcomes.

Why train with Pretty Agile?

Pretty Agile is the AI-Native Charter Partner for Australia and New Zealand, selected by Scaled Agile from over 80 applicants globally.

What Pretty Agile brings to the delivery:

  • practical fluency across ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Gemini, and other tools, so the course adapts to whatever your team actually uses
  • scenario work built around the kinds of AI initiatives organisations are dealing with right now, not hypothetical cases

We deliver the course with a focus on application and judgment. Participants practise the conversations and decisions that determine whether AI initiatives move forward or stall — using real constraints, not simplified examples.

Designed by Scaled Agile. Delivered by Pretty Agile. Focused on turning AI activity into measurable value.

What You'll Learn in AI-Native Value Architect

The curriculum comprises 8 lessons, divided into 3 main parts, plus circa 2 hours of on-demand pre-work.

1. Build the Core Skillset

The AI-Native Value Architect (the role & the Responsibility Wheel)

Coaching AI Adoption (build fluency & coach the 7 Success Factors)

Unlocking Value from AI Workflows and Tools (quick wins from assets you already own)

Your First AI Solution: The AI Risk Council (build a working 4-agent solution)

2.  Run the AI Lifecycle

Bridging Business and Technology
(Sense & Discover: signals, entry points, the Alignment Brief)

Facilitating AI Solution Development
(Design the Value Blueprint: the six blueprint areas)

Optimising Outcomes (Deliver & Track Reality: implementation tracker & 90-day roadmap)

3. Scale Your Impact

Expand Your Impact (make it real in your organisation)

An AI Value Architect turns an organisation's AI activity into measurable value: coaching AI adoption, unlocking value from the AI workflows and tools already in place, bridging business and technology, and facilitating AI solution development. They lead the decisions, trade-offs, and governance that determine whether AI work progresses or stalls, including the concerns enterprises consistently get stuck on: data, ethics, risk, and legal. The Certified AI-Native Value Architect credential, issued by Scaled Agile, validates this capability.

On 25 August 2026, Scaled Agile re-released AI-Native Change Agent as AI-Native Value Architect: a two-day course focused on the person who connects AI initiatives to business value. All Pretty Agile classes from September 2026 run as AI-Native Value Architect and certify against the new credential. If you're unsure which date suits you, contact us, and we'll help you plan it.

No, the course does not require SAFe. It applies to any organisation working to get value from AI, whatever way of working you use. The course includes a short section mapping the AI Value Architect role into SAFe for organisations that use it, but the skills, scenarios, and certification stand on their own.

Foundations is not required, and you can attend Value Architect without it. We recommend it strongly because Value Architect teaches you to lead others through a methodology they need to have experienced themselves. The people you will be facilitating — colleagues, stakeholders, team leads — need the shared language, mental models, and workflow redesign skills that Foundations builds. Without it, you are facilitating people who don't yet have the vocabulary or the practice to move with you.

The two courses are designed as a system. Foundations builds broad AI capability across a team or organisation. Value Architect develops the small group of people who turn that capability into a functioning AI adoption network — the cross-functional connectors who keep adoption moving after the training ends.

If you come from a change or transformation background, Foundations offers something specific: direct experience with the AI-Native methodology from the participant's perspective. That matters because your job in Value Architect is to lead others through exactly that experience. Knowing the content is not the same as having worked through it yourself.

The AI-Native Value Architect certification exam is taken online through your Learning Plan in SAFe Studio after the course.

  • 60 multiple-choice questions, single-select
  • 80% required to pass
  • 120-minute time limit
  • Web-based, closed book, no outside assistance
  • Included with course registration when taken within 60 days of course completion
  • Retakes are $50 per attempt. The first retake can be taken immediately after a second unsuccessful attempt; the second retake after 10 days; the third after 30 days, with a 30-day wait between any further attempts.
  • The exam submits automatically when the timer ends, and unanswered questions are marked incorrect

A practice test is available with unlimited attempts, in the same format and difficulty as the real exam. Passing it does not guarantee passing the exam.

To prepare, see Scaled Agile's exam details.

After completing the course, participants may choose to sit the AI-Native Value Architect certification exam through Scaled Agile.
