What agileKRC does

agileKRC is a London-based private training, consulting, and coaching firm founded in 1995 that specialises in agile project management and business agility transformation. The firm is led by founder Keith Richards, who served as Lead Author for the AgilePM and PRINCE2 Agile methodologies, and Barbara Roberts, a co-author of DSDM who originated the AgilePM concept. agileKRC's intellectual roots in the development of mainstream UK agile frameworks distinguish it from generalist training providers.

The company generates revenue through three professional services streams: fee-based certified training courses (AgilePM, PRINCE2 Agile, Scrum, AgileBA, Kanban, SAFe, and Estimating for Agile), agile consulting engagements for organisational transformation, and individual or team agile coaching. Courses are delivered via instructor-led classroom (UK regional, priced up to £1,784 per practitioner course), self-paced online (globally accessible, 12-month access, with entry-level tiers at £69), and bespoke in-house training delivered at client locations worldwide. The firm is accredited by five certification bodies including APMG, AXELOS/Peoplecert, Agile Business Consortium, Scrum Alliance, and Scaled Agile.

The firm's go-to-market is sales-led for consulting and bespoke in-house work, supplemented by event-driven lead generation through webinars and a 206-article content library. Customers span non-profits (British Red Cross), intergovernmental agencies (European Space Agency), consumer goods (Mars), and government/defence (UK Ministry of Defence). agileKRC Ltd. is a UK private limited company owned by Knowledge Train, operates with a 1-10 employee base, and has no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, or revenue figures.
