How to create large-scale Agile Organisations that function effectively? How to scale Agility without increasing organisational complexity in the process or, in fact, even decreasing it? This course is designed to help you analyse and solve such problems in a systematic and scientific way.
The basis of the course are the principles of ELSE: Emergent Large-Scale Evolution (https://go-else.org), which will enable you to understand how to improve your business through an evolutionary process designed to reduce organisational complexity.
These principles are also general and not tied to a particular ‘framework’, so they can be used either to get started with large-scale agility or to improve an existing implementation.
The course requires a basic understanding of the Scrum framework. Please make sure you have visited a basic training on Scrum and agile before joining this course! Like, for example our Qualified Scrum Master-I, Qualified Scrum Product Owner-I, Agile Fundamentals or equivalent. All course materials are in English.
