Course Agenda
The morning of the first of three days will be used to establish the overall context of the system modeling activities which follow. This will be done through a small amount of lecture, combined with both small and large group discussions.
Once the stage is set, we will transition to thoughtful analysis of the impact of different organizational design decisions on adaptability and value delivery using system modeling. Following each incremental framework-agnostic advance in our understanding, we will map concrete aspects of LeSS into our increasingly enlightened understanding of organizational system dynamics. The system modeling brings deeper insight, while mapping this insight into LeSS facilitates better retention along with an understanding of how to act on what is being learned.
We will continue to incrementally advance our depth of understanding using system modeling for the majority of the three days. Towards the end of the third day time will be spent: coalescing the whole of our enhanced understanding; providing guidance on how to move forward; and orienting participants on how to navigate a wealth of additional information.
DAY 1: Setting the Stage
The first of three days will be used to establish the overall context of the system modeling activities which follow. This will be done with a small amount of lecture, but primarily via small and large group discussions and exercises. We’ll follow this thread through the entire 3-day event.
- Introduction
- Avoiding Taylorism
- Estimates, not Commitments
- People are Valuable
- System Optimization, not Local Optimization
- Discovering Value
- Implications of multiple Product Backlogs
DAY 2: Seeing Simplicity through Systems Modeling
On the second day, we will take what we learned about Systems Modeling on Day 1 and use those tools to understand:
- Benefits of Cross-Functional Teams
- Product Breadth Considerations
- Private Code Impedes Technical Excellence
- Managing Cognitive Fullness
- Requirement Area Sizing Considerations
DAY 3: Modeling decisions through Systems Modeling & LeSS
As we continue to advance our depth of understanding using system modeling, the third day will be spent coalescing the whole of our enhanced understanding, providing guidance on how to move forward, and orienting participants on how to navigate a wealth of additional information.
- Product Breadth and Adaptability
- Avoiding Middlemen
- LeSS Complete Picture
- Structure Drives Culture
- Adoption in your organization
- Extended Q&A

Training Venue Details
The course is being hosted at the Hyatt Regency Zurich Airport The Circle, which is directly on-campus at the Zurich airport. If you are flying in, no rental car will be required.
The Zurich airport is a short 15 minute train ride from downtown Zurich.
Full Attendance Required
The course runs from 8:30 am - 6:00 pm all three days. For certification, full attendance is required. Please take this into consideration when making travel plans.
Attendees who are traveling may need to stay Thursday night to ensure full attendance.
Classroom Details
The course is being hosted in the Presidential Suite of the Hyatt Regency Zurich Airport The Circle. Assuming the class grows large enough, I expect to relocate the course to larger meeting space within the Hyatt Regency, or perhaps a downtown Zurich venue.
Meals
I will be providing lunch for everyone. I anticipate we will eat lunch at a table service restaurant within a short walk of the venue. I still need to do a bit more research to identify appropriate lunch venues nearby. There are a large number of restaurants and shops outside of airport security, in addition to the hotel lobby restaurant.
Evening dinners are not included in the cost of the course. It is possible participants will decide to meet for dinner somewhere for the first two nights of class. This tends to be more likely for those who are traveling, including myself.
