In this kick-off to a new video series, Bas Vodde and Bastiaan van Hamersveld explore the ten principles of LeSS that guide everything from structural decisions to daily team behavior. You’ll learn how these principles connect to Scrum, Lean Thinking, Systems Thinking, and product development realities—and why they’re essential for scaling without losing focus or purpose.
This overview sets the stage for future deep dives into each principle and offers practical tips for applying them in your LeSS adoption. You’ll gain clarity on:
The relationship between the LeSS principles, rules, and guides
Why “whole product focus” and “continuous improvement” matter at scale
How principles like Systems Thinking and Empirical Process Control shape organizational design
Where to start your own learning journey through Lean and Systems Thinking
Whether you're new to LeSS or looking to reconnect with its foundations, this video offers a clear and conversational entry point into the principles that matter most.
