About this Event
Large-Scale Scrum (LeSS) is a framework for scaling agile development to multiple teams. LeSS.works gives an overview. 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 Online LeSS Practitioner course is an in-depth course covering the LeSS principles, framework and rules, and guides. It provides essential information for adopting and improving LeSS to your product development group. The course contains an overview of LeSS, stories on LeSS adoptions, exercises and extensive LeSS Q&A to ensure we discuss the topics most of interest to the participants.
Aaron Suedmeyer, CLP, Feb 2017: "Greg is an amazing trainer. His knowledge of LeSS is substantial. He clearly conveys the theory of LeSS and backs that up with practical and real world experience. What make Greg a great teacher is that is extremely responsive to feedback. During my course he was able to personalize the course by changing direction mid-stream. His agility as a teacher greatly increased the value of the course not only for me but all of the students."
The Online LeSS Practitioner course is for anyone who is involved in a LeSS effort. Basic Scrum knowledge is expected and can be achieved by attending a Certified ScrumMaster or a Professional ScrumMaster course, or thoroughly reading Scrum introduction material such as the Scrum Primer and practicing Scrum.
Want to learn more about how companies have implemented LeSS? Please visit the LeSS Case Studies page, or reach out to me at [email protected] to know more.
The course is spread out over 5 half days, with an approximate distribution of topics as follows. Each day's session will be a maximum of 4 hours including breaks. Questions are welcome throughout the training!
As an online training delivered via Zoom and Miro, I will also share with you many techniques that I have found useful in facilitating online agile and LeSS workshops, as well as transformational experiences. I am eager to share these ideas with you!

A note about certification:
Most certifications including those of the LeSS Company are not an indication of having learned, but of having attended a training. In the belief that in-person training is the best option, the LeSS Company requires that you attend an in-person training to be a "Certified LeSS Practitioner"; this and other LeSS online courses earn attendees the sexy marketing term "Provisionally Certified LeSS Practitioner".
As the first Certified LeSS Trainer, I have ample experience in both in person and online training, and can confirm that students of both learn a lot, and that there are pros and cons of each. After taking my training, I will be glad to personally certify that you have done so and share my congratulations for your achievement. I encourage you to choose either online or in-person training as best suits your needs!
