What ProCognita - Agile | Scrum | LeSS does

ProCognita S.C. is a Kraków-based professional services company founded in 2010 that delivers Agile, Scrum, and Large-Scale Scrum (LeSS) training, consulting, mentoring, and coaching to organizations ranging from Polish startups to multinational enterprises such as Dassault Systèmes, Siemens, BNP Paribas Bank Polska, Allianz Business Services, Comarch, ABB, Capgemini, and Allegro. Its core offering is a portfolio of authorized certification courses delivered under partnerships with Scrum Alliance (CSPO, CSM, A-CSPO, A-CSM, CEC), LeSS Company (CLB, CLP, CLE), and ICAgile (ICP-ACC via Lean Solutions Ltd.), supplemented by proprietary courses in product discovery, engineering leadership, design thinking, systems thinking, and agile hardware development. The firm also sells books and physical products including the published title 'Biznes Odczarowany' (Scrum: jak osiągać cele, gdy wszystko się zmienia), Agile Box bundles, Planning Poker cards, and titles by authors such as Gojko Adzic.

The company's underlying technology footprint is minimal in the conventional software sense: it operates as a human-delivered services business with content assets (blog, three podcasts, free materials) and a transactional e-commerce store for physical and digital products. Distribution runs through four channels: open enrollment public courses in Kraków, Warsaw, and online; in-house corporate training delivered at client premises; self-serve online course registration; and consulting/mentoring engagements. Pricing is per-seat for public courses (Early Bird 2,600-4,800 PLN; Regular 3,000-5,120 PLN; advanced LeSS courses 5,900-6,500 PLN + VAT) and custom for corporate group engagements, with group sizes ranging from 4 to 24+ participants and languages including Polish, English, and Flemish.

ProCognita generates revenue through four streams: (1) professional services training delivered via per-participant fees on open enrollment and in-house corporate engagements; (2) organizational consulting and individual mentoring billed as professional services; (3) one-time sales of books, Agile Box bundles, and physical products; and (4) training vouchers sold with a 12-month validity that function as a quasi-recurring revenue stream. The company is privately held as a Polish civil partnership (spółka cywilna), founder-led by Tomasz Wykowski (the only Polish Certified Scrum Trainer accredited by Scrum Alliance), with a lean permanent team of approximately 5 employees supplemented by an international trainer network that includes Craig Larman (LeSS co-creator), Gojko Adzic, and Jurgen De Smet.
