Practical Scaled Agile (CIPSA) Certification: 15 Free Questions and Answers (Part - 2)


This is in continuation of the earlier series of questions for Management Yogi's Certified In Practical Scaled Agile (CIPSA) certification exam. 

I'll definitely suggest that you take both the question parts together, when you attempt the questions. This way you will have continuation in your learning and get a better understanding on what kind of questions may come in your CIPSA exam. 

Also, as mentioned in the previous series, to answer these questions, you need to have: 
  • Solid understanding of Scaled Agile Management practices scaling both team-level Scrum and team-level Kanban. 
  • Excellent grasp of the CIPSA framework,  because the CIPSA certification course follows this framework. 
  • Sound understanding on MS Project Scaled Agile features. 
  • Good understanding of traditional (waterfall), team-level Scrum and team-level Kanban management.
  • Critical thinking, logical reasoning, and ability to think out of the box. 


These questions are taken from the course: Certified In Practical Scaled Agile (CIPSA). This certification course comes with full money-back guarantee, applicable for the entire course duration. In other words, there are no terms and conditions. Use the course and if you don't like, I'll refund the money any time.   

Again, I hope you enjoy doing these questions and it helps in your preparation for the CIPSA exam.

Practical Scaled Agile (CIPSA) Certification: 15 Free Questions and Answers (Part - 1)

 

The Certified In Practical Scaled Agile (CIPSA) certification is a unique and powerful certification. With this certification, you'll learn scaling multiple Scrum or Kanban teams. It's hands-on and practical. 

It uses the latest release of MS Project software (MS Project Online Desktop Client) and is prepared with the inputs, feedback and suggestions from Scaled Agile practitioners. 



These questions are taken from the course: Certified In Practical Scaled Agile (CIPSA). This certification course comes with full money-back guarantee, applicable for the entire course duration. In other words, there are no terms and conditions. Use the course and if you don't like, I'll refund the money any time. 

As noted earlier, the course is prepared with feedback from many Scaled Agile practitioners, around the world. Many have informed that the CIPSA certification course is comprehensive and very diffierent from other Scaled Agile certifications.

To answer these questions, you need to have:
  • Solid understanding of Scaled Agile Management practices scaling both team-level Scrum and team-level Kanban. 
  • Excellent grasp of the CIPSA framework. The CIPSA certification course follows this framework. Practical, hands-on applicability is almost always overlooked in certification courses. In that sense, the CIPSA certification is radically different. 
  • Sound understanding on MS Project Scaled Agile features. Other software tools can also be used as the fundamentals remain the same. As you proceed with the course, you'll have mastery over such Scaled Agile features.
  • Good understanding of traditional (waterfall), team-level Scrum and team-level Kanban management.
