The Certified Agile Scaling Practitioner 1 (CASP-1) Workshop takes an expansive but practically applicable journey through the world of agile scaling. We’ll explore the principles and practices found in methods such as SAFe, LeSS, FAST, Scrum@Scale, Nexus, UnFIX, Essence, Team Topologies, Org Topologies, Modern Agile, and more. Students will draw from these varied perspectives to create individual plans for driving scaling practices forward at their organizations. This is a one-of-a-kind class that distills a highly complicated subject for a uniquely personalized, accessible, and satisfying experience.

Grow-Lean has policies around situations where you as an attendee, or Grow-Lean as a host, must cancel or reschedule. Grow-Lean's policies are consumer-friendly in recognition that unforeseen things happen, but Grow-Lean asks for thoughtfulness about canceling late so Grow-Lean can continue to put their customers first.
By registering yourself or others for the session, or by being a registrant, you agree to the policies below. If you have any questions, please contact Grow-Lean.
Cancellation requests received at least sixteen (16) days prior to the event will receive a 100% refund minus a 5% credit card processing fee.
Cancellation requests received fifteen (15) to eight (8) days prior to the event will receive a 100% refund minus a 5% credit card processing fee and a $125 late cancellation fee.
Cancellation requests received seven (7) or less days prior to the event will receive a credit equal to 50% of the amount paid that can be applied to any future event that the registrant will take in the next twelve months.
Reschedule requests received at least sixteen (16) days prior to the event will have no fees for the first request. Additional reschedule requests will be subject to a $125 transfer fee.
Reschedule requests received less than sixteen (16) days prior to the event will be subject to a $125 transfer fee.
Grow-Lean tries to avoid rescheduling. If Grow-Lean needs to reschedule, all registrants will promptly receive a 100% refund. Registrants may decide to be transferred into the rescheduled event, or another upcoming event, instead of the refund if they desire.
In the event where the original listed trainer cannot deliver the course, Grow-Lean reserves the right to substitute a trainer. This is a rare occurrence, but this policy allows Grow-Lean to deliver a course while minimizing the student impact. Trainers provided in this event will have met Grow-Lean's high quality standards to ensure registrants receive valuable training.

Arlen Bankston, a pioneering figure in the agile movement, was one of the first to integrate lean systems thinking and user experience practices with agile software development methodologies. His innovative approach has left a lasting impact on the field.
Currently, Arlen is a sought-after coach and trainer, specializing in advanced courses such as the Advanced CSPO, Certified Scrum Professional PO, Certified Scrum Professional - ScrumMaster, Certified Agile Leadership Essentials and Team, as well as custom sessions including the Grow-Lean Remote and Hybrid Work. His expertise extends beyond the realm of software, exploring Lean, Six Sigma, BPM and other process management and systems thinking approaches to provide organizations with a comprehensive perspective.
Arlen's journey in the agile world began with his early involvement in the Scrum Alliance (member number 41) and as one of the first Certified Scrum Trainers . He further expanded his knowledge by becoming a Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt during his six-year tenure leading a Lean-Agile practice. His entrepreneurial spirit led him to co-found the consultancy LitheSpeed, which he successfully led for fifteen years before joining Grow-Lean.
Known for his thought leadership and dynamic, entertaining, and practical training style, Arlen has trained and mentored thousands of ScrumMasters, Product Owners, team members and executives. He designed the Agile Leadership Academy to address the leadership and structural challenges that many successful companies still face.
Arlen's client list spans across every industry and includes notable names such as RBC, Monster, Marriott, NBC Universal, CNBC, NGA, Capital One, T. Rowe Price, Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and the Armed Forces Benefits Association. His book “HR and the Agile Organization” provides valuable insights on how human resources departments can adapt to support organizations striving for adaptability while enhancing employee engagement and retention.
As the picture suggests we cover popular scaling frameworks like SAFe, Scrum@Scale, LeSS, and FAST, but we also look more discretely at principles, patterns and practices because you don't need to be limited to a monolithic framework in it's entirety.
On the surface, we scale because we need more people. Perhaps we can think about the why, and the ramifications of scaling more broadly so go beyond getting bigger and get better instead.
Many organizations pick a scaling framework, purchase some tools, have a couple of days of training for the staff, and then they consider themselves as agile. Perhaps we take a more mature perspective that recognizes scaling challenges and patterns of success.
Are you wondering what’s next in agile scaling?
Formal agile scaling methods have mostly emerged in the last decade, but they have evolved quickly. Several new entrants such as UnFIX, FAST, Essence and Org Topologies take unconventional approaches to scaling that might better suit your dynamic environment. We might even talk a little bit about AI.
Could you build your own agile scaling approach from first principles?
We can’t promise that you’ll emerge with a whole new methodology in two days, but you’ll get the basic tools and principles needed to start the job! Ideas like descaling and methods like Heart of Agile emphasize the value of subtraction and simplification, so perhaps your ideal method won’t be too complicated after all.
By taking this workshop you will gain the Certified Agile Scaling I designation with the Scrum Alliance. The CASP 1 will differentiate you and allow you to approach clients with confidence and apply advanced techniques in your workplace.
Arlen has been applying agile since the late 1990's and Was one of the first Certified Scrum Trainers. He delivers a lively, fresh and visually striking training experience.
Experience a blend of exercises, real-world case studies, custom-built tools, engaging games, short videos and more. No bland slideware here.
Oscillate between theory and application to illustrate the gap between what is possible verus what is most often done.
Leave ready to help your organization through pragmatic tips and stories from the instructor’s decades of consulting experience, as well as learning from often equally experienced fellow students.
Take again for free (within 120 days).
Case studies and examples for working at scale.
Custom created training material and approach.
Original tools and templates you can use directly.
Top notch support seven days a week.
"We'll take your scaling goals, challenges and environment and help select the patterns and practices that make the most sense for you"
