Webinar Series: Scrum at Scale with Hands-on Practical Applicability

In a recent article for Scrum at Scale – CIPSA Key Roles and Goals, I wrote about the power of simplicity. I also said simple is beautiful and simplicity sticks. It's applicable in all walks of our lives. You can read it here.

Simple people are liked more, trusted more. Simple things are easily remembered and hence followed. Simple, elegant dresses are natural and indeed, beautiful. Simple manners, for example just a simple and genuine 'thank you' goes a long way many times with the right people in the right environment. 

In any human endeavor, simplicity is a powerful tool. A simple message is more effective and efficient than a long, complicated message. A simple person or organization is easier to work with than a complicated one. However, to make things simple is not that simple. In fact, it' very hard, long-drawn and has to be cultivated. 

The Certified In Practical Scaled Agile (CIPSA) framework strives to be simple. I believe it's the simplest possible framework for Agile at Scale in the world. In addition, it's the only practical Scaled Agile framework in the world.

As shown above, the CIPSA Scrum Framework extends team-level Scrum in a minimal possible way. There are no layers of and layers of backlogs, layers and layers of roles and events. If you read the CIPSA Guide – free to download and use, you’d immediately notice these:

• The roles are just two.
• The goals are just two.
• The events are just a few.
• The artifacts are just three.

Considering multiple Individual Scrum Teams and agile at scale, it’s a simple, yet powerful framework. If you know the Scrum approach, you’ll understand quickly understand the CIPSA Scrum Framework. In addition, the CIPSA framework can use any software tool, including MS Project Agile. 

In my upcoming webinar series conducted by Mastering Project for Unlimited Growth (MPUG), you’ll learn about scaling, aspects of scaling, other scaling frameworks, the CIPSA Framework (specifically the CIPSA Scrum Framework), various parts of the framework and more. In the final part, we will also see practical, hands-on demonstrations.
