Agile at Scale: Mar 2-3, 2023

Agile at Scale Training

Agile at Scale Training
Most Agile/Scrum trainings and workshops, whether certified or not, leave you rather stranded when it comes to the practical question: “How can I help create effective and high-performing teams when we go beyond a team or two?”. “Agile at Scale” is an introductory training aiming to introduce practitioners to the core principles, practices and intricacies of scaling Agile in multi-team product development environments.
Together we will explore Lean/Agile concepts to support scaling and how they can be applied in practice. You will walk away with deep foundational understanding of tenets of adopting Agile at Scale and will be equipped with a number of techniques and practices to help you optimise flow of value in your teams and organisation.
In this interactive training we take a framework-agnostic approach to help you learn: (de-)scaling to optimise flow of value, lean/agile principles of scaling, practical (yet research-backed) approaches to form teams at scale, anti-patterns and pitfalls to avoid, practical tips and techniques for scaling roles and events, real-life case studies and examples.
The content presented are based on a combination of research-backed industry best practices and years of practical experience in coaching, training, consulting and supporting organisations through their transformation journeys, from Fortune 100 companies to tech start-ups.

"Professionals have to reinvent themselves multiple times throughout their careers. If you find yourself at a time like this, the CSM Workshop with Taghi is a “MUST-DO”. If you don’t need to reinvent yourself, it’s still a “MUST-DO"
CSM Alumni
"Thanks for the excellent training Taghi. I loved the way you shared the notes, the way you used Miro was a revelation. Your doodling skills are superlative! I have also incorporated a lot of learning in my job. I am seeing the benefits.

Will I receive a certificate?
Can I Miss Several Hours of the Workshop and Still be Certified?
No. If you miss more than 15 minutes of the workshop, you will not be eligible for certification, and you will be welcome to attend the rest of the workshop. Don’t worry – if something big comes up, we’ll move you to a future workshop at no cost.
What do I need to bring to class?
You’ll need a computer with microphone, camera & speakers. Use https://fast.com to test your internet connection. After the download numbers stop, use the “more” option to calculate your upload speed. You’ll need 5 down / 1 up – and more is better. Now, while in class, you’ll be actively using your computer to participate in exercises, so plan to peek at your email only during a break or at lunchtime.
