COURSE DESCRIPTION

Join Dave in an interactive, engaging learning experience that seeks to answer the decades long conundrum on how to reap the benefits of agility at scale.

This two day class will provide hands-on learning through direct experience, where you as participants will reach into the toolbox of your experience and collaborate to address the challenges of scaling in real time. You will be supported in learning through doing, making mistakes, and adapting within a safe growth environment.

‍About Certified Agile Skills - Scaling 1
The goal of scaling is to enable an organization to increase its capacity and capability without necessarily adding more people. We know however, that when it comes to scaling, flexibility in approach is the key to success. Unlike prescriptive scaling frameworks, this course focuses on understanding complexity and visualizing the patterns we can expect when we undertake the shift to Agile at scale. We are equipped with a principle and pattern based approach that avoid "one size fits none" solutions.

Additionally, because we know that growth of any kind goes beyond just a business exercise; we recognize that the art to make the scaling change sustainable requires support and organizational change management. We explore the utilization of supporting structures, which we refer to as scaffolds, to guide the change and embed new practices, and we dive into proven change management ideas and merge them with the iterative and incremental type of delivery that we know to be a game changer.
‍
All of this is capped off with interactivity and case based learning, that will serve us as we apply our learnings into our organizational contexts.
