Insights addressing the challenges of agility at scale
Our Certified LeSS Basics course is an insight-packed introduction to the highly regarded LeSS and LeSS Huge scaling frameworks. 
The course includes examples and first-hand stories from scaled Agile adoptions including recent in-person and completely remote LeSS adoptions in Australia.
Who
This course is for anyone curious about how LeSS is different from other approaches to scaling such as SAFe, the so-called Spotify Model etc. Being informed about this allows you to provide advice about the choice of scaling approach at work or to decide whether to take a 3 day Certified LeSS Practitioner course yourself.
Don’t be fooled by the word “Large” in the “Large Scale Scrum”. LeSS can be used with 2 small teams and upwards working on a single product offering. LeSS is not only for tech. product companies. The truth is that many banks and insurance companies use LeSS.
