Quickly delivering value and innovating in ever-faster cycle times has become a key differentiator between good and great enterprises. Large product-development organizations are turning to agile principles and large-scale Scrum to sustainably deliver that innovation at a fast pace.
The key questions many large product development organizations face are:
How to apply what works well on a small scale to large scale developments?
What’s the design of an organization that optimizes for learning, agility and customer value?
Can I redesign my organization to create an environment to succeed in the long run?
Large-Scale Scrum (LeSS) is to organizations what Scrum is to teams: a simple, powerful, large-scale product development framework designed to evolve into something that fits perfectly within any unique context. LeSS builds on top of Scrum principles such as empiricism, cross-functional, self-managing teams, and provides a framework to apply them at scale. It presents simple structural rules and guidelines on how to adopt Scrum in large product development.
In this 3-day Certified LeSS Practitioner Training you will learn the LeSS rules, the principles, guides and experiments. Key learnings of this Certified LeSS Practitioner Course are:
Explain what LeSS is and what LeSS is not
Explain the LeSS roles and their purpose
