Certified In Practical Scaled Agile (CIPSA) Online Course

 

I’m excited and delighted to announce the availability of the Certified In Practical Scaled Agile (CIPSA) Online Course for Scaled Agile practitioners and Management professionals:

CERTIFIED IN PRACTICAL SCALED AGILE (CIPSA) 

It’s a complete video course on Scaled Agile Management. It covers both theory (30%) and practical (70%). Highest emphasis has been given to practical applicability. Though MS Project has been used, any other software tool can be used as the concepts are similar.

There are many Scaled Agile approaches and certifications in the world, but none of them really tells you how to do it in a practical, hands-on manner. CIPSA certification, following the CIPSA framework, is radically different from that perspective.  The CIPSA certification course is in-depth, hands-on, and practical-oriented. Literally, CIPSA (pronounced 'sip-sa') is the only such course, worldwide. It also comes with full money back guarantee. 

A complex, large-sized product will require multiple Teams. Such products have massive scope, big budget, a number of dependencies and above all, require large manpower. Scaling is inevitable in such scenarios. Because a single Product Owner or Scrum Master can’t manage a team of 50 or 70 people. Can they? Hence, scaling is inevitable. 

The CIPSA certification understands this need and is for Scaled Agile Practitioners. Both Scrum and Kanban are used at team-levels. These can be scaled to multiple teams. The meta-events, artifacts, roles and responsibilities also have to scaled. For example, in Scaled Scrum, the CIPSA framework informs about the role of Chief Product Owner (CPO) and Principal Scrum Master (PSM). Similarly, other roles are used in Scaled Kanban. 

This course is highly needed by Scaled Agile practitioners as scaling is truly advanced, and complex. However, the CIPSA framework, on which the CIPSA certification is based is not complex. Rather, it’s used to deliver complex work. 

With the CIPSA certification course, you will know:

• Scaled Scrum Management
• Advanced Scaled Scrum Management
• Scaled Kanban Management
• Advanced Scaled Kanban Management

You learn and work with a number of foundational as well as advanced concepts in Scaled Scrum and Scaled Kanban management: 

• Scaling multiple Scrum or Kanban teams
• Building a Scaled Scrum or Kanban Backlog, i.e., the CIPSA Backlog
• Working with multiple teams and multiple Sprints/Releases (Scrum or Kanban)
• Scaling Scrum Boards or Kanban Boards to manage and track
• Generating CIPSA Integrated Burndown/Burnup Chart (Scrum)
• Generating Integrated Cumulative Flow Diagrams (Kanban)
• And many more.

Because this practical-oriented course, you will see how Scaled Scrum or Scaled Kanban projects are managed with MS Project Agile. 

With this course, you will also have an End Course Exam. On clearing the exam, you get the Certified In Practical Scaled Agile, or in short the CIPSA credential, indicating your mastery over Scaled Agile Management. 

Above all, you’ll know how to do it in the real-world with real scaled projects, because the course is hands-on.
