Scaled Professional Scrum | Scrum.org (SPS)

Even after achieving success with Scrum, teams are still limited by the amount of work they can do and the value they can create. They need to expand, or scale, to a group of Scrum Teams working together on the same product. When doing so, they often encounter common challenges with cross-team dependencies, self-management, transparency and accountability. 

When introducing heavy-weight scaling methodologies, teams often find that the added overhead slows down the teams and distracts from the essence and benefits of Scrum. Instead, Scrum.org created the Nexus Framework  by minimally extending the Scrum Framework to include ways that help solve the dependency and collaboration challenges of cross-team work. Since Nexus enhances the foundational elements of Scrum, it reinforces the benefits of Scrum while also being familiar to those that have used Scrum.

• Identify typical challenges in scaling, and learn principles and techniques for overcoming them

• Understand how to find the scale that works best for your organization and processes, including when to reduce or “de-scale”

• Experience the negative impact of cross-team dependencies on value delivery at scale

• Learn how identify, visualize, minimize and remove dependencies through cross-team refinement

• Learn how the Nexus framework extends and reinforces the key principles of Scrum to enable value delivery at scale

• Experience the Nexus framework in action - including the events, accountabilities and artifacts

• Experience techniques for organizing teams, organizing the work and running a Nexus

• Learn how to deliver value across the whole Nexus instead of optimizing the work of the individual teams

This course is appropriate for experienced Scrum professionals that are interested in learning how multiple Scrum Teams can work together to deliver a single product. It is ideal for:

• Scrum Masters with strong experience in their role that are interested in helping their organizations scale from one Scrum Team working on a product to several Scrum Teams working on a product

• Scrum Team members (Developers and Product Owners) who want to understand how to scale with Nexus or who are joining an organization using Nexus

• Agile Coaches with strong experience with Scrum that are looking to learn how to use the Nexus framework

• Department managers seeking to understand the difficulties their teams experience when working together

This course is not suitable for professionals with little Scrum knowledge or experience.
