Clear, experienced instructor. Content was relevant in providing a solid foundation for scaling principles. You leave with many takeaways and an actionable plan should you choose to focus on a real-life scenario during the course exercises.

The instructor was great! Scrum alliance should work on the content as it was easy to understand since I had experience in several scaling frameworks, but the depth that the course went into about the different frameworks was very high level. Joel did a great job of filling in the gaps and is very knowledgeable about a breadth of agile scaling approaches and topics.
Review
The course was an insightful look at various development frameworks, complete with growth strategies and real, applied business cases.

Taught by: Joel Bancroft-Connors
Boost agile capacity and capability at any organization with a smart approach to scaling agile ways of working. This certification course is tailored to organizational leaders, managers, and anyone wanting to ramp up the results of their organization's agile investment. You'll learn from the brightest minds in agility and receive a two-year membership to Scrum Alliance upon successful completion.
The challenge is having multiple teams across an organization collaborate to create that sustainable value around a unified product or goal.
Introduction:
In today's fast-paced business environment, organizations must adapt and scale their agile practices to remain competitive. As companies grow in size and complexity, the challenge lies in enabling multiple teams across the organization to collaborate effectively and deliver sustainable value around a unified product or goal.

During this immersive 2-day workshop, you'll gain the knowledge and skills to help multiple agile delivery teams coordinate, align, and collaborate effectively.

Participants will engage in hands-on exercises and discussions throughout the course to reinforce learning and develop practical skills.
