At 12 people, private training is the stronger call. It is priced per class for your whole group rather than per seat, so it is typically more cost-effective at eight or more, and the whole team builds the same practices together instead of individuals returning to unchanged teams.

Training Cost Questions

How much does agile training cost per person?

Public agile workshops run roughly $500 to $1,295 per seat depending on the course, so a public program scales linearly with the number of people you train. Private training is priced per class for your whole group rather than per seat, which is why the per-person cost drops as the group grows and why private is typically more cost-effective for teams of eight or more.

Is private agile training cheaper than public workshops?

For a small number of people, public workshops can be the more economical choice. Because private training is one flat fee for the whole group rather than a per-seat charge, it usually becomes both more cost-effective and more effective at about eight people and up. The larger the group, the stronger the cost case for private delivery.

How do I calculate the ROI of agile training?

Compare the full cost of the two delivery models for your team size, then weigh the impact. Public cost is the per-seat price times the number of people. Private cost is a flat fee for the group. Beyond cost, the bigger ROI lever is whether the training changes how teams work: a whole team trained together, and coached afterward, is far more likely to produce lasting improvement than individuals returning to unchanged teams.
