In this 3-day highly-participative course, participants get a thorough introduction to LeSS (Large-Scale Scrum). And people are introduced to — and practice — Systems Thinking with Causal Loop Modeling. There will also be an in-depth clinic with Craig Larman, the co-creator of LeSS, based on his long experience with Large-Scale Scrum adoptions.

In addition to course material, each participant will also receive 3 books on LeSS:

  • Large-Scale Scrum: More with LeSS
  • Practices for Scaling Lean & Agile Development: Large, Multisite & Offshore Product Development with Large-Scale Scrum
  • Scaling Lean & Agile Development: Thinking and Organizational Tools for Large-Scale Scrum


= Introduction Why LeSS? Systems Thinking, Organizational Design, and the Contract Game LeSS Organizational Design LeSS Principles LeSS Rules Two LeSS Frameworks


= LeSS Structure Multiple Feature Teams on One Product ScrumMasters in Large-Scale Scrum Role of Managers Adoption: From Smallish to Huge Multisite


LeSS Product Definition of Done and its Impact on Structure Product Owner and the Five Relationships Product Backlog: Organizing and Prioritizing Bigger Backlogs Product Backlog Refinement with Many Teams Multisite


LeSS Sprint Sprint Planning with Many Teams Coordination and Integration: From Communities to Architecture Scaling the Sprint Review and Retrospective Multisite


In-Depth Special Topics: A Deep-Dive Q&A Clinic Although there are some constants in a LeSS adoption, there are many variations, due to myriad contexts. And there are many special-topic questions that participants have, usually variations of “When scaling Scrum, how do we…?” These questions range from “contracts to career path.” Therefore, a full half-day to day of this course is dedicated to a structured Q&A session that works through a group-prioritized list of burning issues and questions. Craig Larman, drawing on his many years of experience of actual LeSS adoptions, will dialog and explore solutions with the group.
