Description :

This in-depth, highly interactive online course is taught by Greg Hutchings, founder of Amelior Services.  Greg is an expert in scaling Lean and Agile using many frameworks and home grown approaches, who has more than 15 years of experience teaching and coaching large scale agile at many innovative products and services companies.  He also has over 35 years of experience building products and companies, including 20 years in the Bay Area.  He shares this experience and centers the course on the context and questions of the students who are encouraged to participate actively.

The training and content has been completely redesigned for online facilitation and interaction, and the initial online courses given in 2020 have had great feedback.  The course size is very limited to maintain a high level of engagement and deep interaction.

Large-Scale Scrum (LeSS) is a framework for scaling agile development to multiple teams.  It is the lightest weight and most adaptive framework available, and respects the context and competence of businesses that use it to help guide their transformations. LeSS builds on top of the Scrum principles such as empiricism, cross-functional self-managing teams and provides a framework for applying that at scale. It provides simple structural rules and guidelines on how to adopt Scrum in large product development.

The Certified LeSS Practitioner course is an in-depth course covering the LeSS principles, framework and rules, and guides. It provides essential information for adopting and improving LeSS to your product development group. The course contains an overview of LeSS, stories on LeSS adoptions, exercises and extensive LeSS Q&A to ensure we discuss the topics most of interest to the participants.

The Certified LeSS Practitioner course is for anyone who is involved in a LeSS effort. Basic Scrum knowledge is expected and can be achieved by attending a Certified ScrumMaster or a Professional ScrumMaster course, or thoroughly reading Scrum introduction material such as the Scrum Primer and practicing Scrum.
