LARGE-SCALE SCRUM (LESS) is a framework for scaling agile development
to multiple teams. 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.
LeSS is to the organization what Scrum is to the team: a simple,
powerful, large-scale product development framework designed to evolve
into something that first perfectly with any unique context.
IF YOU ARE NOT MOVING AT THE SPEED OF THE MARKETPLACE YOU'RE ALREADY
DEAD - YOU JUST HAVEN'T STOPPED BREATHING YET. - JACK WELCH
The organization structure in which most of us operate today can be
quite an obstacle to respond adequately to a fast-changing business
environment. In fact, traditional organization structures are not
designed to deal with a Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous
(VUCA) world. This leads to employees feeling disengaged from their
companies, and to companies being outpaced by their competition.
Consequently, organizations need to redesign their structures to cope
with the phenomenon and increase their capability to move faster than
competition, incorporate new technology, learn new skills...
LESS WILL GIVE YOU EXACTLY THAT COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE!

I WAS IMPRESSED WITH THE TRAINING AND WITH JURGEN
Beth Kelly
Operations Project Manager SpareFoot
Jurgen was an excellent trainer and facilitator. He answered all
questions but first challenged the participants to figure out the
answers ourselves. He was able to relate to the developers on a
personal level b/c of past experience: this bought him credibility
that most trainers do not have. Most of the training was spent doing
exercises in groups, which kept me engaged and interested. That also
made the content feel real. I was really impressed with the training
and by Jurgen
