Important note: you will reap the maximum value from this workshop if you prepare a little in advance. You’ll find details at the end of this description.

Have you noticed how most of Agile frameworks focus on the delivery of whatever someone else put into the Backlog? They usually have some wording about business or customer or user value of Backlog Items but nothing really specific. I think it is time to change that.
During this workshop we will hold your Backlog to the same standards you hold your development process. We will bring transparency, system(atic) thinking, empirical process control… You know what? Let’s see how many LeSS Principles we can fulfill (or surpass!) when we treat “what we do” with similar discipline as “how we do whatever we do”.

Preparation:
You will benefit the most from this workshop if you work on your own Backlog. It could be a backlog for your product, your team or your personal one, anything meaningful to you will help. If you are not close to a product (as a Scrum Master, an Agile Coach, a Leader or a Manager) a prioritized list of the actions you want to do with your team or organization will work just fine.

Working on an “artificial” or someone else’s Backlog will work to some extent. You will get the “tooling” working but you will probably miss the oh-so-deep epiphany when your intuition will meet a somewhat more structured approach.
