Do you think an executive playing the Product Owner role, remote self-designing team workshops and a multi-team Product Backlog Refinement session is fictional ? Think again. It is currently happening fairly close to home. Let us get real with an actual example LeSS adoption. We will be having a "fireside" discussion with Sam Peacock and Rowan Bunning to find out more about this LeSS adoption a few months in. Come prepared with questions and curiosity around how a large organisation is brave enough to give this a go.

Rowan has repeatedly taken leaders on a journey toward more deeply understanding their organisation and its improvement goals in a way that sets the stage for informed consent and potentially a LeSS adoption.
