Certified Large Scale Scrum Practitioner with Co-Creator of LeSS Craig Larman by DailyAgile

Learn with CRAIG LARMAN—the co-CREATOR OF LeSS [http://less.works]—in this 3-day highly-participative course. SCRUMALLIANCE ANNOUNCED LESS AS A PREFERRED SCALING APPROACH -  https://www.scrumalliance.org/about-us/press-room/press-releases/scrum-alliance%C2%AE-announces-partnership-with-less-co [https://www.scrumalliance.org/about-us/press-room/press-releases/scrum-alliance%C2%AE-announces-partnership-with-less-co]   Participants (senior managers, product developers, ...) get a thorough understanding of LeSS [http://less.works], LARGE-SCALE SCRUM, for scaling agile development to many teams working together on one product. In-depth, we explore _adoption, new organizational design, systems thinking & optimization, the role of management_, and very concretely _how to work together in a Sprint at scale in terms of coordination, architecture, planning_, and much more.  Perhaps most importantly and interestingly, this course runs mostly as a series of "at giant whiteboards" deep-thinking exercises involving systems modeling in small teams to explore _why_, so that people can _own_ the ideas by discovering them for themselves, rather than "renting" the ideas. A focus on _why_ and _owning not renting_ are important elements of LeSS and how it's learned, and Craig emphasizes this in the course learning experience. The course also includes _in-depth Q&A clinics with Craig Larman_, based on his long experience with LeSS adoptions.

And there are many special-topic questions that participants have, usually variations of “When scaling Scrum, how do we…?” These questions range from “contracts to career path.” Therefore, a full day of this course is dedicated to a structured Q&A session that works through a group-prioritized list of burning issues and questions. Craig Larman, drawing on his many years of experience of actual LeSS adoptions, will dialog and explore solutions with the group. Details : After course completion...
