I've read agile modelling by Scott Ambler. More focused on the design / up front modelling. Good tips for using UML etc without going into too much detail.
He also has a site: http://www.agilemodeling.com/
I don't think I'd start with a certification class. I'd start with two books:
I'd also look at some other online resources (like this agile roadmap to get a sense of what you actually want to implement and change.
From there, that will guide you to what classes, or as /u/mlucero14 pointed out, if you'd prefer to bring in a coach or trainer.
Given that it looks like you all are in Costa Rica, you might want to talk to the team from Pernix Solutions. I've worked with them before, and they understand the agile and craftsmanship side of things.
Hope that helps!

There's this, that has a couple 'real world' examples
Apart from David J. Anderson's Kanban which was mentioned already (he is one of the lead figures that popularised Kanban in software development), I learned a lot from Henrik Kniberg's "Kanban vs Scrum"
https://www.crisp.se/file-uploads/Kanban-vs-Scrum.pdf
and also a lot from Eric Brechner, who works at Microsoft and has spoken a lot about his success with Kanban. Here is his book:

and two talks of him, if you want to watch on youtube

Good list!
Does it make sense to add a 'methodology' category for the SDLC. I think it's important that software engineers understand good PM/Agile principles.
Not sure the best book but books I like the 'Agile Manifesto', or Alistar Cockburn 'Crystal Clear' (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0201699478/ref=ase_alistaircockburn/102-9370806-2432911?v=glance&s=books)
or a Microsoft SCRUM book.

and the Mythical Man Month:

To me books like these and the feedback loops it teaches will help deliver software that somebody 'wants'..
I've not been asked in those terms, but it sounds like an Agile/Waterfall question.
A lot of the verbiage sucks but this is my base process answer-book: https://www.amazon.com/Agile-Project-Management-Creating-Innovative/dp/0321658396
