Descale first!

The Agile Organization

Scrum@Scale is not a standard agile scaling method like SAFe, LeSS and Nexus. It doesn't provide you with a recipe, which at times might be scary. Scrum@Scale instead asks questions and requires you to experiment with answers. As such - in our humble view - Scrum@Scale actually deserves to be called a framework. A framework which helps an entire organization to become more agile.

Even hard core fans of the aforementioned established scaling methods admit that these should be considered a stepping stone towards a more flexible, nimble organization. Never should the method or framework become the goal itself. It is just a means to an end.

Therefore, we regularly ask ourselves "What now?". What comes after we have implemented Squads, Tribes, Chapters and Guilds? What do we do when the release train isn't arriving often enough any more? What is next after we have mastered developing medium-sized products using LeSS? How do we make the organization itself more agile, not just our product development?

To some it might come as a shock, but the journey towards more agility is one that will never end. Scrum@Scale is there to support you in continuously asking yourself the right questions, such that you can decide which step to take next.

In a way one could see SAFe and cohorts as implementations or instantiations of Scrum@Scale. Each of these scaling methods has captured a bunch of scaling answers which it deems to be the best practices - completely independent of the appliers' context. One size fits all ... or maybe not?

How can one single method know the answers in a complex environment anyway?

The First Scaling Rule: Don't Do It!

One of the core principles of Scrum@Scale is only to scale what really needs scaling. Don't scale just because scaling is hip and sounds like something everybody should do. We call this principle Minimal Viable Bureaucracy (MVB).

In this course you will learn how to stick to an MVB and what else you need to do to not end up with yet another reorganization with very low chances of improvement let alone success.

After the course and passed exam you will receive the “Scrum@Scale Practitioner” certificate signed by Jeff Sutherland.

The course offers a lot more though. Besides getting a fundamental understanding of what is essential when scaling agility, you will also leave the training with your heat map. A map that shows you where there is potential for improvement in your own organization's move towards agility. A concrete change backlog so to speak. When returning to work after this course, the heat map will tell you what needs to be done first.

Scrum@Scale consists of 12 components. We often like to call them focal points. Each one of them we will look at in detail during the course and after having discussed it, each participant will do a self assessment of their organization or the part thereof over which they have at least some influence. Is the organization doing well in that respect or maybe not so much? How important is the particular focal point to the organization?


During the course the trainer will tell lots of stories out of his own experience with clients all over the world. We will also do quite a few exercises helping to understand the theory behind Scrum@Scale.

But it is not only about the trainers narratives. There will be lots of opportunities for the participants to share their own challenges, their own successes and their own defeats. We encourage everybody to tell their stories. There is so much we all can learn from each other and these stories are the gateway. They inspire and trigger new thoughts. We also really connect through these stories and participants can thus expand their qualitative network which most likely will last long after the course is over.
