5ST3PS helps professionals improve processes, products, teams and organisational performance. We combine Lean, Lean Six Sigma and Scrum within practical learning pathways. Each approach answers different questions and supports different improvement challenges. At the ILSSI Conference, we invite you to experience our learning approach with Scrum with ILSSI Certification. Conference participants receive free access to our Scrum Essentials e-learning. You can build a strong foundation before choosing a certification pathway.
Start with Scrum Essentials for your Scrum with ILSSI Certification
Scrum helps teams create value while working in complex environments. The framework supports short learning cycles, clear accountabilities and regular feedback. Our free e-learning introduces these foundations in approximately thirty minutes.
You explore the Scrum Team, events, artifacts and their connected commitments. You also learn why transparency, inspection and adaptation matter. Scrum with ILSSI Certification follows the official Scrum Guide, currently published in November 2020. We also connect Scrum with Lean and Six Sigma thinking. This helps you select methods based on problems, evidence and context. No previous Scrum knowledge is required.
Start with the Problem, Not the Method
Improvement methods create value when they fit the challenge. Lean focuses on customer value, flow and reducing unnecessary work. Six Sigma helps professionals understand variation, quality and process performance. Lean Six Sigma combines structured improvement with evidence and data. Scrum supports learning and adaptation when uncertainty is high. These approaches can complement each other within one organisation. A stable process may benefit from Lean or Six Sigma. A changing product challenge may benefit from Scrum. Some situations require both process improvement and adaptive product development.
Don’t start with the method. Start with the problem.
Discover the New Scrum with ILSSI Certification
ILSSI now offers Certified Scrum Master and Certified Product Owner examinations. Both certifications appear within ILSSI’s current international examination portfolio. 5ST3PS is listed as an ILSSI Accredited Partner in the Netherlands. Our Scrum with ILSSI Certification training develops knowledge while keeping practical application central. We connect certification preparation with realistic situations and professional decision-making. This approach supports learning beyond memorising terminology
Certified Scrum Master
The Scrum Master is accountable for establishing Scrum within the organisation. The Scrum Master also supports the effectiveness of the Scrum Team. This requires facilitation, coaching, systems thinking and constructive challenge. Our Scrum Master training develops knowledge alongside practical professional skills. You learn to support self-management and productive Scrum events. You also explore impediments, stakeholder interactions and continuous team improvement.
The learning pathway prepares you for ILSSI Certified Scrum Master certification.
Certified Product Owner
The Product Owner is accountable for maximising value from the Scrum Team’s work. That responsibility requires direction, prioritisation and continuous stakeholder engagement. Effective Product Ownership therefore extends beyond maintaining a Product Backlog. Our Product Owner training connects Scrum theory with practical product decisions. You learn to clarify goals and make value-based priorities. You also explore stakeholder needs, feedback and Product Backlog management.
The learning pathway prepares you for ILSSI Certified Product Owner certification.
Scrum Master or Product Owner?
Both accountabilities contribute directly to effective Scrum. However, they focus on different questions and responsibilities. Your preferred pathway often depends on where you enjoy creating value. Scrum Master may suit professionals who enjoy enabling teams and collaboration. The work combines facilitation, coaching and organisational improvement. Its central question concerns how teams can work more effectively. Product Owner may suit professionals who enjoy product decisions and priorities. The work combines value, direction, priorities and stakeholder collaboration. Its central question concerns what should create value next.
How Lean, Six Sigma and Scrum Work Together
Lean asks how value can flow with less unnecessary effort. Six Sigma asks how variation affects quality and performance. Scrum asks how teams can learn while delivering valuable outcomes. These questions differ, but they often appear together. Organisations rarely face only one type of improvement challenge. Professionals therefore benefit from understanding several complementary approaches. At 5ST3PS, we teach methods within their practical context. We explain what each approach offers and where limitations exist. This supports better choices and more responsible improvement work.
