Six Pillars of Agile Leader Mastery
Each pillar is scored against the Dreyfus model — from Beginner to Expert. You'll see exactly where you stand in each area and what to do about it.
Built by Practitioners, Not Theorists
Created by John McFadyen, Certified Scrum Trainer (CST) with 20+ years of experience and 2,500+ agile professionals coached. The competency frameworks are grounded in the Scrum Alliance competency models and refined through thousands of hours of real-world transformation work.
Frequently Asked Questions
I'm a VP/Director — is this too tactical for me?
Not at all. The Agile Leader framework focuses on systemic leadership — organizational design, strategic alignment, and capability building — not daily stand-ups.
How is this different from a 360 feedback tool?
A 360 tells you what others perceive. This assessment tells you where your actual skills sit on the Dreyfus mastery model — which is often more revealing than peer perception.
Is this really free?
Yes, completely free. You get your full Growth Wheel, Dreyfus-level scores for all six competency pillars, and personalised growth recommendations — no credit card, no sign-up required.
How long does it take?
About 5 minutes. The assessment has 30 questions — five per competency pillar. Each question asks you to rate yourself against an observable behaviour, so there are no trick questions or lengthy scenarios.
What's the Dreyfus model?
The Dreyfus model of skill acquisition describes five stages of mastery — from Beginner through to Expert. Unlike generic scoring, Dreyfus levels map to specific, observable behaviours at each stage.
Can I retake it?
Absolutely. Retaking every few months helps you track growth over time and see how deliberate practice shifts your scores.
Is my data private?
Yes. Your results are stored locally in your browser. If you choose to create an account later, your data stays private and is never shared or sold.
