Unleash Your Agile Spirit For Scaling – Be a CIPSA!


The Certified In Practical Scaled Agile (CIPSA) course embodies a dynamic and transformative spirit, captured vividly in the latest trailer (26 seconds). CIPSA is pronounced as 'sip-sa'.

The course is hands-on and deeply practical. It's also highly economical. It allows learners to master Scaled Scrum and Scaled Kanban in a hands-on manner with the needed theory.



The below table shows a brief comparison between CIPSA and other certification. Rating is given for each category based on inputs from CIPSAs. The star rating given is based on a scale where five stars represent the highest and one star, the lowest.

Check the items one-by-one to determine the value.


Whether you're navigating Scrum at Scale or Kanban at Scale, CIPSA equips you to rise above conventional limitations and embrace a new Scaled Agile excellence. It's unique in its approach. 

The course is now used by Scaled Agile practitioners around the world.

CIPSA not just a certification – it’s a movement to have real-world learning and applicability, which seriously lacks in every other Scaled Agile certification. Rest of the scaled agile certifications are not at all practical, but only theory and more theory. 

To really learn Agile scaling, consider becoming a CIPSA. It’s worth your money.

RMP Success Story: Mastering Risk, Not Just the Exam Using ManagementYogi’s RMP 30 Contact Hours – A Practitioner Approach to Success

By Vallabha Chebiyyam, RMP, PMP


Introduction

I’ve been certified Project Management Professional (PMP) from PMI and hence wanted to advance my knowledge, understanding and application of Risk Management in a deeper way. 

Hence, I decided to go with the Risk Management Professional (RMP), which is considered to be valuable in my field of work.



Why ManagementYogi’s RMP 30 Contact Hours

The RMP 30 contact hours program from Management Yogi gives you a practitioner-first approach and it’s an exam-true program. It blends PMI-RMP exam alignment with field-grade techniques

With this contact hours course, I believe I received a clean path for not only my exam, but also subsequent application. 

RMP 30 Contact Hours Course: Key Features

Management Yogi’s RMP 30 Contact Hours stands out for a practitioner-first structure with concise videos that move from concept to application to short practice. The course maintains a strong governance lens around thresholds, reserves, authority, and change control, and its exam-style scenarios reflect PMI wording and decision patterns. 

The topics that helped me most were data quality assessment before qualitative analysis, response strategy trade-offs across threats and opportunities, and clear reserve policies with drawdown rules. 

This course covers the advanced content fully:

  • Expected Monetary Value (EMV) Analysis 
  • Decision Tree Analysis (DTA)
  • Earned Value Management (EVM)
  • Sensitivity Analysis with Tornado Charts
  • Various Probability Distributions
  • Selecting appropriate distributions such as Triangular, BetaPERT, and Lognormal
  • Correlation in Risk Management
  • Monte Carlo Analysis and its interpretations with percentiles and drivers

In addition, it covers the areas of the PMBOK Guide, 7th edition and 6th edition with special emphasis on Risk Management. It covers:

  • Agile Management considering risks
  • Hybrid Management considering risks 
  • Various associated Risk Artifacts
  • Risk Attitude Spectrum 

Own Study for the RMP Exam 

For practice, the combination of chapter-end questions for retention, full-length exams for pacing, and new items aligned to current standards, PMBOK 7 and 6, and agile and hybrid references were effective. Hence, I used and practiced them all. 

While studying, I found the below ones most useful:

  • Quantitative analysis with many techniques outlined above
  • Plan and implement risk responses 
  • Practical tool snapshots that map insights into scheduling platforms like Primavera or Microsoft Project

These made my workplace adoption straightforward.

The formula sets are concise and usable for exam preparation and day-to-day work, and the revision tips throughout the course and checklists were genuinely helpful for my final reviews. 

Contact Hours Assessment

The assessment for the 30 contact hours was fair, aligned to the content, and served as a clear consolidation of learning rather than a surprise test. Post the assessment, I received the completion certificate.  


Final PMI-RMP Exam

After receiving the contact hours certificate, I went for RMP application fill-up and submitted the application. Post approval, I took the exam in Canada and successfully cleared the exam on 27th September, 2025.

Conclusion 

I want to apply my learnings in my profession and field work.
