Frequently Asked Questions

If I want to become a Certified Scrum Trainer, Certified Team Coach or Certified Enterprise Coach, does this class help and what is next?

This class qualifies you to apply for the Scrum Alliance’s Guide-Level certifications. The process for achieving each of these is accessible via the following links:

Are certification fees included?
Yes, all certification expenses are covered by Grow-Lean and you will not have fees due to the Scrum Alliance for two years.
Do I have to pay any extra fees when registering?
No, you do not get tricked into paying any last second fees with us. If you want nasty surprised charges choose another vendor : )
What are the pass rates for Grow-Lean attendees who take the exam?
Well, there is no exam; so I guess we can say 100%!
Is there an exam?
There is no exam for the Certified Scrum Professional - PO. Yes, a bit surprising, but the good news is that we can focus on helping you learn new things that will positively impact your career, which is better than focusing on an exam.
How much of this class is live?
  • Our class is 100% live.
  • Many other companies and trainers have sessions that are 75% off-line where you work in isolation.
  • We have deep interaction and discussion 100% of the time.
  • Nothing is canned and nothing off-line, other than optional material and short videos.
Is my trainer good?
No, just average. Kidding of course. Yes, really good.

We have a small number of trainers, focusing on quality, and rely on repeat business.

He became a Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt while leading a Lean-Agile practice for six years, and was a successful entrepreneur helping to build an agile consultancy for fifteen years.
