So far, this meet-up group has mostly had experience reports on LeSS adoptions. During these sessions there were quite a few questions related to LeSS. Therefore, we decided to just have a basic LeSS introduction session. Please invite whomever you think ought to get a short introduction to LeSS.

In this session we will:

\* Introduction to the different perspectives of LeSS
\* A quick walkthrough through the day-to-day flow
\* Mention of other topics
\* Q&A

The meet-up will serve food.

Bas Vodde is a coach, programmer, trainer, and author related to modern agile and lean product development. He is the creator of the [LeSS (Large-Scale Scrum) framework](http://less.works/) for scaling agile development. He coaches organizations on three levels: organizational,  team,  individual/technical practices. He has trained thousands of people in software development, Scrum, and modern agile practices for over a decade.
He is the author of [Large-Scale Scrum: More with LeSS](http://www.amazon.com/Large-Scale-Scrum-More-Craig-Larman/dp/0321985710),  [Scaling Agile and Lean Development: Thinking and Organizational Tools for Large-Scale Scrum](http://www.amazon.com/Scaling-Lean-Agile-Development-Organizational/dp/0321480961), and of [Practices for Large-Scale Agile and Lean Development](http://www.amazon.com/Practices-Scaling-Lean-Agile-Development/dp/0321636406), all together with [Craig Larman](https://less.works/profiles/craiglarman).
Bas works for [Odd-e](http://www.odd-e.com/), a company that supports organizations in improving their product development, mostly in Asia and Europe.
Bas currently lives in Amsterdam again, after living in Singapore, China, and Finland. He worked in start-ups and in very traditional environments. This last uncomfortable experience convinced him that agile and lean development is a more human way of developing software products -- no matter how large your development is.
He had the opportunity to introduce Agile Development (particularly Scrum) in Nokia Networks (formally NSN) but had to move to Helsinki. There he watched dozens of product groups adopt scrum and other agile practices. The extreme cold in Finland forced him to migrate south and back to China where he focused on one large product group and its Scrum adoption.
Bas is interested in Scrum with a special focus on large companies and large product development. But he also enjoyed working on technical practices, especially test-driven development (particularly in embedded environments) and continuous integration.  He keeps working as a developer because he strongly believes you need a well-factored code base if you want to be fast and flexible. His hobbies are studies in lean production and quality management and, of course, programming.
Bas is also one of the authors of the [CppUTest unit test](http://github.com/cpputest/cpputest) framework for C/C++ and of [Osaka a Mac UI automation framework](https://github.com/basvodde/osaka) written in Ruby.
