Overview

The traditional Agile approach thrives in small, collaborative teams but as organizations grow and projects become more complex, scaling Agile practices to encompass multiple teams can be a challenge. The Scrum Alliance Certified Agile Scaling Practitioner 1 (CASP 1) course tackles this challenge head-on.



CASP1 emphasizes a principle-based philosophy. You'll delve into core Agile values and principles, learning how to adapt and apply them to create a customized scaling strategy that perfectly aligns with your organization's unique context and needs.

The course investigates various scaling patterns, helping you understand how these patterns can be used to address specific challenges you might encounter. You'll gain the ability to identify and select the most appropriate patterns, and then adapt them to fit your organization's specific structure and goals.

CASP1 goes beyond just the technical aspects of scaling. It acknowledges the crucial role of leadership and change management in a successful Agile transformation.

While the course explores popular scaling frameworks like SAFe and LeSS, it doesn't advocate for blindly following any one framework. Instead, you'll learn to critically evaluate each framework and identify the aspects that best contribute to true agility within your organization.

The CASP1 course equips participants with the knowledge and skills to effectively scale Agile practices beyond a single team in complex environments.
