ABOUT THIS COURSE
This is a paid-for course, available to book via our website.
We are thrilled and proud to welcome Craig Larman, co-creator of LeSS, to London this June for three days of immersive Certified LeSS Practitioner Training.
Join us to explore a deep understanding of LeSS (Large-Scale Scrum) for lean and agile development with many teams working together on one product. Limited early bird seats are now on sale.
Book now to avoid disappointment.ABOUT THIS COURSE
Learn with Craig Larman, co-creator of LeSS, in this 3-day, highly-participative course. Participants explore a deep understanding of LeSS, Large-Scale Scrum, for lean & agile development with many teams working together on one product. We explore adoption, new organizational design, systems thinking & optimization, the role of management, and concretely how to work together in a Sprint at scale in terms of coordination, architecture, planning, and more.
(Course runs until 17:30 on all 3 days, including day 3; for certification, full attendance is required)Critically, we explore the Big Idea of more with LeSS: simplifying & descaling over “scaling”, or… scaling product development by descaling the organization.
Perhaps most importantly and interestingly, this course runs mostly as a series of “at giant whiteboards” deep-thinking exercises involving systems modelling in small teams to explore why, so that people can own the ideas by discovering them for themselves, rather than “renting” the ideas. A focus on why and owning not renting are important elements of LeSS and how it’s learned, and Craig emphasizes this in the course learning experience.
Join Larman for a deep dive into more with LeSS, based on his long experience with LeSS adoptions.
In addition to course material, each participant will also receive 3 books on LeSS:- Large-Scale Scrum: More with LeSS
