About Agilest® CASO
The CASO – (Certified Agile Strategy Officer) training is designed to get the participants thinking about how to leverage Agile as a competitive advantage. The primary goals of this training are to give participants an understanding of what Agile is, and what it can and can not do to improve their business processes. Taught is what organizational structures need agile to stay competitive, and what areas of the company should be using agile based on their industry. Covered also is the current state of the enterprise in the business lifecycle. This training is designed to give executives the tools that they need to make right strategic decisions involving agile, and also to be able to have the appropriate conversations with the staff reporting to them.
The CASO training is a comprehensive Agile overview of the agile techniques for driving the corporate structure in the different major areas for both gaining efficiency and responsiveness to competitive forces and changes to the internal organization based on performance improvements. Also, and perhaps more importantly, is the focus on how to leverage agile for the profit center. While there are efficiencies to be gained from using Agile for the development of core products; depending on where the organization is in the product lifecycle, the most significant advantage that Agile can provide is aiding in the development of goods that are the right fit even in the most competitive product segments.
In this training, we provide a useable understanding of the most important Agile methodologies and frameworks, including Kanban, Scrum, and Scrumban. How and why scaling is a factor at large organizations, and how standards factor in the organization is provided. The impact of governance and how Agile can promote innovation is covered. We also get into emerging methods like Holacracy, which can be an effective way to gather requirements.
We will also examine companies that credit Agile for explosive growth like Salesforce.com, and Spotify. Both have leveraged Agile to a competitive advantage, as have other companies that have used Agile methods to target distinct silos within their organizations to get targeted gains.
Correctly prioritizing the major initiatives for value creation in order to drive bottom line profits is stressed in the training. One of the biggest failures that occur within corporations is not determining the comparative value of the work the company is doing to create profit. Most valuation is done without utilizing real inputs and the business case creation process is driven more by hyperbole than by any actual numbers. This training will show the participants how to structure organizations so that value comparisons are based on reality based research, and the financing in the organization is always flowing in the direction of highest projected ROI development.
The final important component includes the online tools and training provided as an additional resource to the participants of this training. Given to all alumni is private access to an online repository of resources relevant to their particular training area. The private access area has tools to aid practitioners in the execution of their duties at their workplace.
