Is LeSS Still Relevant in the Age of AI?

AI is fundamentally transforming product development. But what does this mean for organizations using Large-Scale Scrum (LeSS)?
As AI takes on more tasks, the capabilities of individuals and teams evolve, and entirely new forms of collaboration emerge, do these organizations still need today's LeSS rules and structures to remain competitive?
Or is LeSS becoming more important than ever?
LeSS wasn't designed on a drawing board. Its rules, structures, and principles emerged from years of practical experience and experimentation in product development. And the principles serve a particular purpose: They provide guidance for continuously and empirically evolving LeSS within each organization's specific context, rather than simply following existing rules.
So, is AI a challenge for product organizations – or precisely the kind of change that LeSS's principle-based approach was designed to address?
Which rules and structures remain useful? Which ones should we challenge? What new experiments might be needed? And how can the LeSS principles help us discover answers rather than jump to predefined solutions?
What role can and should the LeSS community play in this evolution?
That's exactly what we want to explore together – openly, critically, and without predetermined answers.
No presentations. No ready-made answers. Just thinking, questioning, and learning together.
We'll start with a few provocative questions, invite participants to suggest additional topics, and explore them in parallel breakout groups. Afterwards, we'll share our insights and try to find answers to our original questions together.
Whether you're a LeSS practitioner, developer, Product Owner, Scrum Master, leader, or simply curious about the future of product development – all perspectives are welcome.
