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 (CLP) course is an in-depth programme covering the LeSS principles, framework and rules, and guides. It provides essential guidance on how to move from a Project Driven to a Product Led organisation through using, and improving, LeSS. The course contains a deep dive into the LeSS framework through Lego, stories on LeSS adoptions, exercises and extensive LeSS Q&A to ensure that we discuss the topics which are most interesting, and valuable, to the participants.
What will you learn?
The Certified LeSS Practitioner® course is a highly interactive, in-depth course. It provides essential information for adopting and continuously improving your organisation using various thinking tools (whether using LeSS or not). Throughout the course, attendees will develop a thorough understanding of the following:
Project to Product
How do you shift your organisation to have a Whole Product Focus and be entirely Customer-Centric? This course focuses on this and provides you with tried and tested guidance, practices and stories for how to begin, accelerate or unblock your efforts to embrace a Product based view.
Multi-Team Collaboration
How do you help teams collaborate and co-operate across boundaries in ways that not only un-taps everyone’s potential but also increases your ability to adapt based upon the newest high priority features? This course has the answers.
Organisational Design
Organisational design cannot be static if you want people and products to adapt safely, quickly and when needed. This course gives your principles and guidance on how to create an organisational structure that is dynamic and 100% focussed on the Customer and Continuous Improvement.
