Description :

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 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.

The Certified 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.

“Ahmad clearly knows his stuff (organizational change & LeSS). He is energised, enthusiastic and not afraid to share his experiences. Real world examples help make the theory come to life. Overall, recommended.”— Craig Lowdon
“This was one of the best training I have attended; great trainer, great content, well explained ”

“Ahmad was an excellent trainer. He was engaging from the very beginning and the course was interactive throughout. Ahmad used previous experiences to explain certain principles, which kept us all intrigued and sparked some interesting conversations as a group. As a result of attending this course I learnt all about the LeSS framework and how I can implement real changes back at work. Thank you Ahmad for delivering a brilliant course, I really enjoyed it.”
