Question 1

Breaking Free from the “Doing” Trap: Your Competitive Advantage

Accepted Answer

Traditional leadership courses emphasize “Red Work” (execution), while CAL 1 prioritizes “Blue Work” (thinking and improving). This course helps close the gap between leaders who set direction and teams who deliver. By shifting from compliance to contribution, you unlock discretionary effort across your workforce—accelerating delivery and strengthening true organizational resilience.

Question 2

Outputs to Outcomes Framework

Accepted Answer

Proven approaches to move from output-focused (project thinking) to outcome-driven (product lifecycle thinking)—one of the most powerful levers for delivering real organisational value.

Question 3

Outputs to Outcomes Framework

Earn the Advanced Certified Scrum Product Owner® (A-CSPO®) credential from Scrum Alliance while also renewing your eligible Scrum Alliance certifications for two years. It can also provide a convenient way to maintain your credentials if previous certifications have expired.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Get access to the community Discord and Scrum Event—one of Europe’s largest Scrum Alliance meetups—for continuous peer support and ongoing discussion.

Question 7

What does this certification try to solve?

Accepted Answer

Overcoming the limits of scientific management requires tackling four core barriers that cause most transformation efforts to stall. First, Agility in a Volatile World addresses how traditional management relies on predictable conditions, offering strategies to lead through constant change and real-world uncertainty. Second, a Shift to a Growth Mindset moves organisations beyond "success through compliance" to foster a culture centered on continuous development. Third, understanding Why Structures Resist Change uncovers entrenched organizational patterns, emphasizing that structural reform must precede cultural transformation. Finally, confronting The Risk of Standing Still leverages market disruption insights to build a strong, evidence-based case for change that breaks through organizational inertia.

Question 8

Is this course only for people in technical or agile roles?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. CAL 1 is built for leaders across all functions—from HR and Marketing to senior executives and the C-suite. Agility is an organisational capability, not a technical specialty, and no prior agile experience is needed.

Question 9

How does this differ from standard management training?

Accepted Answer

Traditional training focuses on managing systems for predictability and control. CAL 1, instead, teaches you how to lead through uncertainty—embracing complexity to uncover better solutions. It’s not a small improvement; it’s a fundamentally different approach to leadership.

Question 10

Who should enroll in this program?

Accepted Answer

The CAL 1 course is designed for leaders at any level driving change—or frustrated by the lack of it—with no prior agile experience required. It enables Executives and Managing Directors to embed agility at a strategic level while empowering VPs, Directors, and Department Heads to lead transformations with lasting impact. Simultaneously, HR and People Leaders learn to shape high-performance culture and talent development, while Agile Coaches and Scrum Masters gain the capabilities to influence senior leadership. Finally, Programme and Transformation Leads acquire the skills needed to drive enterprise-wide change across organizational structure and culture rather than just within individual teams.

Question 11

I’ve done agile training before, and nothing changed. Why is this different?

Accepted Answer

Most agile training targets team-level practices like standups and sprints, which only work if the broader system supports them. CAL 1 operates at the leadership level—equipping you to reshape decision-making, authority, and how your organisation responds to change. Previous efforts often failed because they changed teams, not the system around them.

Question 12

Will I actually use this, or is it just theory?

Accepted Answer

Everything taught is grounded in real-world application. You’ll bring a live challenge from your organisation and apply the models during the course. The follow-up one-on-one session ensures you leave with a clear, actionable plan—not just theory.

Question 13

When and where does the course hold?

Accepted Answer

The course is generally held for 2 days live online via Zoom (10:00–18:00 CET, with 1 hour lunch break).

Question 14

How many people will be in the class?

Accepted Answer

Class size is limited to 12 participants by design. CAL 1 relies on meaningful peer discussion among leaders, which works best in small groups so you’ll be actively engaged, not just another face in a large webinar.

Question 15

How many people will I be working with?

Accepted Answer

As a rolling programme, group size can vary—but it’s intentionally kept small to ensure interactive discussions rather than webinar-style sessions. You’ll get to know fellow practitioners by name and work with a consistent group throughout your fortnightly sessions.

Question 16

Are you open for group / company training?

Accepted Answer

Yes we are flexible if you want to have a customized group training at minimum of 6 but ideally 8 participants to make the learning experience interactive with group activities. We can also customize the training sessions. For example, instead of 2 days x 8 hours, we can split into 4 days x 4 hours spread into 2 weeks (total of 16 hours training)

Question 17

Will missing a live class affect my ability to complete the course?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you may be subject to not getting the certification if you don't attend a class. Therefore, it's better always to let us know at least 2 weeks in advance if you require any rescheduling requests.There is no class recordings for each session due to copyrights, make sure you are able to attend all class sessions

*note that reschedule request is not always given depending on the situation

Question 18

Are the sessions recorded?

Accepted Answer

No. The course is delivered live and is highly interactive, with breakout sessions, group activities, and real-time discussions forming a core part of the experience. It’s designed as a hands-on learning environment rather than content you can watch on demand. Full attendance on both days is required by the Scrum Alliance to qualify for certification.

Question 19

Is there an exam?

Accepted Answer

No. Certification is based on active participation and engagement throughout the course. The emphasis is on applying practical tools to real challenges, rather than passing a written test.
