FAQ

Will I receive a certification?

Who is this for?

The Certified Agile Scaling training is targeted towards people leading Agile change in their organizations - managers, executives, coaches - who are looking for a tailored approach to their scaling challenge. They are looking to understand what agility really means for their organization, and how to focus not on scaling frameworks, but rather the scaling patterns they need for their specific context and goals. At the end of the training, you will have acquired the necessary knowledge and tools to start (re-)designing and changing your organization with agility in mind.

What will I learn?

In this course you will learn why framework-led changes deliver unsatisfactory results and how you can avoid that by using pattern-led changes. You will learn about the importance of de-scaling complexity, change patterns, scaling patterns, and how to combine them to lead change in your specific context.

We will cover the key patterns of popular scaling frameworks such as LeSS, SAFe, and Scrum @ Scale, and go through case studies to see how organizations select different patterns from these frameworks to fit their specific challenges. This requires not only understanding the different patterns, but also how to lead change so that they actually improve the situation.
