Description :

By now, you have done a lot of LeSS learning, by either attending Certified LeSS Basics, Certified LeSS Practitioner or just thoroughly studying LeSS books, site materials and published case studies. You are really LeSS-aware: you understand organizational design and its impact on system dynamics, corporate culture, norms and policies.  You are able to speak with your colleagues and clients about LeSS - implicitly, without upselling it or presenting it as the "best scaling option ever invented".  You are pretty comfortable with explaining to others what local optimization is and how it manifests itself in organizational design, teams' structure, roles/responsibilities, backlogs, and engineering practices.

One day you are approached by a Senior Business Executive  asking you to help her organization define a real product from a customer's perspective.
