Course Summary
Quickly delivering value and innovating in ever-faster cycle times has become a key differentiator between good and great enterprises. Large product-development organisations are turning to agile principles and LeSS to sustainably deliver that innovation at a fast pace.
The key questions many large product development organisations face are:
- How to apply what works well on a small scale to large-scale development?
- What’s the design of an organisation that optimises for learning, agility, and value creation?
- Can I redesign my organisation to create an environment to succeed in the long run?
LeSS is to organisations what Scrum is to teams: a simple, powerful, large-scale product development framework designed to evolve into something that fits perfectly within any unique context. LeSS builds on top of Scrum principles such as empiricism, cross-functional, self-managing teams, and provides a framework to apply them at scale. It presents simple structural rules and guidelines on how to adopt Scrum in large product development.
In this 3-day certified LeSS course, you will learn the LeSS rules, principles, guides, and experiments. Key learnings of this course are:
- Explain what LeSS is and what it is not
- Explain the LeSS roles and their purpose
- Explain how LeSS is a Scrum-based approach to scaling
- Explain the dynamics of component teams vs. feature teams
- Summarise the impact of LeSS on organisational design (structures, policies, etc.)
- Understand how your current organisational design influences the agility of your organisation
- Understand whether and how your organisation can benefit from implementing LeSS
- Explain how LeSS scales over approx. 8 teams
What is special about this course?
This course has been designed for a great interactive experience with techniques from “Training from the BACK of the Room” by Sharon Bowman and “Learning How to Learn” by Barbara Oakley, PhD. It will allow you to take in information in a multisensory way (hearing, seeing, discussing, writing, reflecting, and teaching it to others) and engage in an active review of your knowledge. At the end of the course, you will create action plans on how to use your new skills in your organisation.
In this Certified LeSS Practitioner course, participants work in small groups on how to identify and avoid local optimisation in a wide variety of areas and instead optimise the overall system. A good organisational design that supports the company's goals is the most important key to success in major product developments. In many practical systems modeling sessions, the participants get the answer to the question: Why? By that, they develop a deep understanding of a successful organisational design with LeSS.
The course includes experience reports from some LeSS adoptions, many exercises on specific participants' questions, and detailed Q&A sessions to ensure that the interests of the participants are fully taken into account. Konstantin will also share his experience from working with multiple large, German, and international companies and thus demonstrate the theory with practical examples.
What do participants say about this course?
In his LeSS training Konstantin gives a great theoretical but also highly practical information to his trainees. I highly recommend his way of training and background knowledge. Valuable insights & easy to learn group work.
