- Each month you pay $100 and each month the hold is reduced by $100.

Key Details
A rich review of Scrum@Scale and how it fits into the ecosystem of multi-team agile
Scale using Scrum
Through the Registered Scrum@Scale Practitioner (RS@SP) course, you’ll learn how to scale Scrum, using Scrum@Scale, a lightweight agile framework that helps people, teams and organizations to deliver valuable solutions when faced with complex, challenging problems. We’ll apply Scrum to teams-of-teams and organizations, describing how the Product Owner, Scrum Master, individual Scrum teams, and enterprise leadership interact in a variety of different scaling situations while applying Scrum@Scale.
ScrumMaster and PO Cycles
At the heart of Scrum@Scale are the Product Owner and ScrumMaster cycles, two sets of Scrum practices that define the “what” and the “how” of product development. You’ll learn these two cycles and how to connect them together to effectively deliver high-value, high-quality products at scale.
Immersive and Practical
- Experience a blend of exercises, real-world case studies, engaging games, short videos and more.
- Oscillate between concepts and application to illustrate the divide between what is possible with true agile scaling as compared to the mechanistic models being used by many organizations today.
- Learn how to apply Scrum@Scale concepts with other scaling frameworks like SAFe.
- Learn from the instructor’s years of experience, as well as learning from often equally experienced fellow students.
Earn the RS@SP Credential
Once you complete the Registered Scrum@Scale Practitioner (RS@SP) course, you’ll qualify to take the Registered Scrum@Scale Practitioner exam and earn the RS@SP credential from the Agile Education Program. More importantly you will be ready to take your organization to the next level

Hakeem Salami
Nothing but THE BEST ONLINE CLASS SECTION I ever attended, if I can give Don Patti 10 stars I will because I was new to scrum and it shows in my class responses the first day but after that, on the second day scrum became more easier and I can boast that after the class I am where I need to be but all praise goes to Don Parti explanations, videos and the way he grouped the class makes it fun and helpful. It helps me a lot and I responded to everything like a scrum professional on the second day with no fears or worries like the first day. All I can say is THANK YOU Don Patti ????????
customer
I believe that I've had training now with this trainer a few times. Perfect mix of preparing us for the test as well as discussing real world situations. I also appreciate the review as it's been a few years since I attained my SA5.0, and working day to day you forget the principles.
Laura Hampton
Good mixture of theory and real-world application by DP affords anyone, including me, without first-hand experience to really understand the framework and to take initial steps to incorporate in every day efforts.
Student
Don was extremely knowledgeable about the subject and was able to meaningfully explain how various principles fit together. When someone in the class had a question, Don was consistently able to pull on excellent real-life examples to cement our learning. This is the kind of topic excellence, trainer empathy, and real-world applied experience that makes for really effective learning. Well done & thank you.
Student
Great Scrum course about scaling. This will be useful as we plan to scale scrum in our organization. Great to have Don taught the course. Don is knowledgeable and connect course materials to the real world. The exercises in class were also useful.
Student
Don Patti did a phenomenal job of moving through a mountain of material in a manner that was cohesive, wonderfully tied and integrated together and within the class structure creating true understanding of how Scrum@Scale works, functions and how to actively take a lead role in transforming an organization. Thanks for sharing your talents as trainer / coach!
Student
Excellent overall instructor and educational materials. Pace of course was effective. As a retired educator of 30 years in the higher education classroom, this instructor provided instruction that enabled everyone in the course to learn all the information that was included in the course. I have very high praise for his integrity and ability to perform instruction at the highest level. Hope I can take more of Don's classes in the future. I do not hesitate to provide others with my highest recommendation for Don's ability to train, educate, and support his students.
Student
Don did a fantastic job delivering a ton of content and keeping the pacing steady but also consumable. He was easy going and friendly which created an environment for all of us to connect and share. I recommended further reducing the amount of time spent on the Implementation Backlog since that technique seemed easy to master.
Student
Don did a great job at taking such a large concept like Scrum@Scale and breaking it down to a level that it is easy to digest and understand in class. He had good answers to questions brought up throughout the sessions. His team activities were fun, interactive, and educational.
Student
The class with Don went beyond my expectations. For a large amount of educational material, Don was able to simplify everything to make everyone understand the values and retain the information. His personality was a great addition to the class to be able to keep the energy levels high and the class interactive. I will be recommending this course with Don to all my agile connections!! 10/10
Student
this was an excellent course! It was overloaded with material but Donald managed to go though all of it with a enough level of detail. I appreciate deep and wide experience and knowledge which Donald shared with us. He clearly distinquished 'official' state of the art and his own opinions during discussions. He supported the discussions and our activity (without it, remotly, it wouldn't be possible to stay active and take this amount of knowledge). The tools, technology etc worked perfectly and even when something was wrong Donald reacted quickly and effectively and modified the way of running the course in the best way. All answers, even not really about S@S were answered deeply enough. I will recommned Donald to all my colleagues :)
VJ
The amount of material covered in two days of class exceeded my expectations. Very happy with the delivery of the material and prep emails received. Wonderful job Don & David! Best, VJ
Dale Martin
Nice job! Well organized, good tempo, good reinforcement of content tied into real-life experiences. Donald also made the class fun with his sense of humor. I definitely would recommend this class and Donald.
Chelseay
Don was kind, funny, informative, and attentive. I could tell he is a SME in this subject, and he offered strong, constructive feedback throughout the course. The course was interactive and had a solid mix of instructor-led delivery, breakout sessions, and interactive quizzing to prepare for the exam.
Marcy Kravit
I wanted to express my sincere appreciation for Donald Patti and his expertise in teaching the Scrum class this past weekend. I passed the exam today and was very confident thanks to him! His “hands on approach,” detailed course materials and interactive learning style made it a lot of fun! Thanks again Donald! Marcy Kravit
Sílvia Baptista
The course was interactive and had a solid mix of instructor-led delivery, breakout sessions, and interactive quizzing that helped with the exam preparation. The trainer, Donald Patti, was kind, funny, informative, and attentive, and with the learning from this course, I easily passed my exam. Thank you!
Nasirah K.
This was a wonderfully interactive, informative and overall great course. Don Patti was a great instructor, he made everything easy to understand and fun. I would definitely take another class with him and Grow-Lean. So happy I took this certification!!
Ramiro
Don was a great instructor. He knew the material exceptionally well and he could teach it in a very clear and enjoyable manner. I will probably look for other classes he offers that I can take.
Kyle Burns
Amazing introduction to scrum and agile frameworks. As a part of a start-up, we needed solutions that could scale and provide the same agility we needed to innovate. DP at Grow lean kept the class engaged, wasn't afraid to provide feedback and correction in a humorous and meaningful way, and inspired students to pursue and agile mindset.
Nichelle
The information and exercises were clear and concise. It was presented in a way that made it easy to understand and apply. All of your questions are answered and you feel confident taking the exam. Don was a great teacher!

Destiny
DP was a great teacher! He is extremely knowledgeable and really made me feel comfortable to ask questions. He thoroughly explained the subjects and I walked away with a better understanding of Scrum and other frameworks as well. I would definitely take this class again! He even gives out gifts - thanks for the play-doh DP!
Feroza
I really loved the class structure and how engaging the teacher, Don Patti was. He did a great job of incorporating activities with Miro and quizzes with Kahoot an it really enhanced my learning.
Dennis Parent
Don did a great job explaining the basics of Agile in an engaging way. I followed the guidance he gave and got 100 on the exam. The test itself was not too difficult and the skipping #1 trick worked just fine. Thank You for all the help.
Jackie
Don was an excellent trainer who kept all the students engaged. I enjoyed the interactions and games we played on Miro as teams. That to me helped me better understand the topic at hand. He had good jokes that made us laugh to lighten the mood/day. I would definitely refer a friend to his class because he made sure to address the topics, we wanted to learn more about at length.
Lisa
Don Patti was an amazing instructor. He immersed us into our learning through practice scrum situations. When we were not sure about something, he never made us feel "dumb". He was patient and re-directed his lesson until we understood. I really enjoyed his class!
