Within Accent, one of the leading HR-talent providers in Belgium with about 1,200 employees, they have transitioned their IT-department to a LeSS alike framework. Since the start in December 2021 they could already identify a number of successes. What they consider as one of the major wins is the growth in developer engagement. Louis (developer), Mark (team lead), Hannes (developer), Sofie (management) will give some more insight in how they achieve this on a daily basis, some developer testimonials and statistics.
