What is this course?
Large-Scale Scrum (LeSS) is a framework for scaling Agile development to multiple teams. LeSS builds on top of the Scrum principles such as empiricism, cross-functional, self-managing teams and provides a framework for applying that at scale. It provides simple structural rules and guidelines on how to adopt Scrum in large product development.
The Certified LeSS Practitioner course is an in-depth course covering the LeSS principles, framework, rules and guides. It provides essential information for adopting and continuously improving LeSS in your product development group using various thinking tools, organisational tools and action tools. The course contains an overview of LeSS, stories on LeSS adoptions, exercises and extensive Q&A sessions to ensure topics most of interest to the participants are discussed.
What will you learn?
The Certified LeSS (Large Scale Scrum) Practitioner course will teach you how to scale Scrum following its clear set of principles and rules. You will learn how to scale Agile development for large products from 2 to 200 teams using the LeSS frameworks.
