One tool for the independent SM, the enterprise coach, and everyone in between. A tool, a book, and a curriculum — integrated into one subscription.
Every subscription includes the full content of The Practical Agilist Guidebook — 24 chapters, one per topic, integrated directly into the assessment as Deep Dive docs. Your teams, Scrum Masters, Product Owners, and leaders have a reference point for every topic they need to know.
The digital content is already in the tool. The book puts it on the desk.
Most assessment tools are built for dashboards and data teams. This one is built for coaches and the teams they serve.

AgilityInsights is a large, complex enterprise platform primarily focused on selling training, content, and certification programs at scale. The assessment capabilities are extensive, but the platform is built for organizational reporting and transformation consulting — not for enabling a coach or Scrum Master to have a better conversation with their team tomorrow. Measure the Mindset is built primarily for the practitioner in the room, not the enterprise dashboard.
Comparative Agility is the world's largest agility assessment database, and its primary value is benchmarking — helping you understand how your teams compare to the 52,000+ organizations in their dataset. If your question is "how do we rank against other banks?", that's their product. If your question is "what does this team need to work on next, and how do we build a plan around that?", that's ours.
Columinity is genuinely excellent science — peer-reviewed, academically validated, and free for individual teams. Its model tells you what's happening in your team with real rigor. Measure the Mindset takes a different approach: rather than diagnosing the team from the outside, it puts the conversation in the room, lets the team reflect on their own mindset and practices across all three audiences, and builds a coaching plan from what they choose to own. Our science is the practitioner's craft and focus on coaching. The methodology is the book which is integrated with the tool.
No credit card. No complex setup. Just a team and a conversation worth having.
