Asociación Iberoamericana de Scrum

What Asociación Iberoamericana de Scrum does

Asociación Iberoamericana de Scrum (AIBES) is a private Spanish-language agile and Scrum certification organization incorporated under the laws of Québec, Canada, with operational presence in Florida, United States, and a trainer network spanning 15+ countries across Latin America and Spain. The company delivers nine proprietary "Official" certification tracks — Official Scrum Master (OSMC), Official Product Owner (OPOC), Official Scrum Developer (OSDC), Official Scrum Fundamentals (OSFC), Official Kanban Practitioner (OKPC), Official Agile Metrics (OAMC), Official Product Backlog Management (OPBMC), Official Agile Coach (OACC), and Official Scrum Trainer (OSTC) — issued as Credly-hosted digital badges and backed by 36+ licensed Official Scrum Trainers (OSTCs) and a network of 8 regional consulting partners.

The technology stack is intentionally lean and standards-based: Shopify underpins the e-commerce storefront (tienda.aibes.org), Credly provides verifiable digital badge issuance for all credentials, PayPal and Paymentez handle payments, and a proprietary practice-exam portal (examenes.aibes.org) supports pre-certification assessment. Training programs range from 40-hour practitioner courses (priced $129–$199 USD per module) to a 180-hour Official Agile Coach program ($1,599 promotional / $2,100 regular). Supporting offerings include free practice exams, educational eBooks, a Scrum materials library, and a public certification-validation tool that allows employers to verify credential authenticity.

Revenue is generated through three streams: (1) one-time fees for individual certification exams and bundled training programs sold directly via the website and e-commerce store, (2) enterprise consulting and training engagements featuring 3–6 month accompaniment programs that culminate in a 3-year "Empresa Agile" organizational certification, and (3) channel sales through regional partner firms that resell and deliver AIBES certifications in their local markets. Customer mix spans individual Spanish-speaking professionals, enterprise transformation engagements (Nestlé Ecuador, FINCA Microfinance Bank, UEES, among others), and educational institutions.

Direct peers

• Scrum.org: Founded by Scrum co-creator Ken Schwaber, Scrum.org is the most authoritative global Scrum certification body offering Professional Scrum Master, Product Owner, and Developer certifications. It is the primary global incumbent competing against AIBES for Spanish-speaking agile professionals.
• Scrum Alliance: The largest and longest-established Scrum certification body, offering CSM, CSPO, and CSD certifications globally. It is AIBES's most direct English-first competitor and a potential threat if it expands Spanish-first programs or Latin American partner networks.
• CertiProf: A Latin American-based professional certification body offering Scrum, agile, and IT certifications in Spanish and Portuguese. It is the closest geographic and language-overlap competitor to AIBES in the Latin American certification market.
• ICAgile: The International Consortium for Agile is an industry-recognized certification body offering role-based and specialty agile certifications through a global member network of training providers. It directly competes for enterprise agile training budgets and includes Spanish-speaking member organizations.
• Kanban University: Founded by David J. Anderson, Kanban University issues Kanban-related certifications (Team Kanban Practitioner, Kanban Management Professional). AIBES's Official Kanban Practitioner certification (OKPC) directly competes with this offering in the same certification category.
• Scaled Agile: Provider of the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) certifications, the dominant scaled-agile methodology. While AIBES does not directly offer SAFe, the two compete for the same enterprise agile transformation budgets and aspiring agile coach personas in Latin America.
• Management 3.0: Jurgen Appelo's agile management training and certification program, with a global licensee network of trainers. Management 3.0 is a directly comparable agile methodology training brand and is even referenced as a module in AIBES's Agile Coach curriculum.

Broad incumbents

• Project Management Institute (PMI): The global professional association for project management offering the PMI-ACP (Agile Certified Practitioner) and Disciplined Agile certifications, plus active Latin American chapters (e.g., PMI Lima) that AIBES has co-hosted virtual events with. PMI competes broadly for the same professional development wallet share.
