Certified LeSS for Executives
Introduction
Do you own a medium-sized company or work in a senior position at a large corporation? Are you struggling with the challenges that development with multiple teams brings? Would you like your company to be agile, but don’t know how, when standard procedures only ever talk about a single team?
You are in the right place! LeSS (Large-Scale Scrum) is a proven way to scale agile development for many teams without losing the flexibility that is typical for small companies and startups. Our trainers:
- have already applied LeSS and its principles in several companies and lived with the consequences of their decisions, often for several years
- have 20 years of experience in the industry in various roles within companies
- are certified by the authors of LeSS themselves and are in direct contact with them
What You Will Learn
What problems will the course help you solve?
You will learn the principles of scaling for multiple teams so that the company remains flexible and is able to react quickly to market demands.
For Manager / Director / CXO
Is development planning in your company complicated to the point of driving you crazy?
You will learn what mainly causes this complexity and how to simplify planning.
Would you like to significantly increase your development team, but are you afraid that development efficiency will decrease?
LeSS will show you how to organize product development for tens, hundreds, or even thousands of people, all while adhering to the same principles.
Would you like to increase satisfaction among people in your company?
You will discover how to assemble teams so that they are focused on the end customer, which will increase the satisfaction of both customers and employees.
For Product Owners / Product Managers
Do you feel overloaded? Does everyone constantly demand your time and input? You will learn that a significant part of the Product Owner’s work can be delegated to the development teams, and why this delegation is beneficial for both the company and the product.
Would you like the development of your product to be driven by business priorities, rather than technical constraints? You will discover that the way you define your product fundamentally affects how the development team is able to respond to new business opportunities.
Do you feel like the delivery of every new feature is painfully slow? Using the principles of Lean Thinking, we will explain the root cause of the slowdown and show you how to deliver key features much sooner.
For Scrum Masters / Agile Coaches
Do the changes you implement tend to revert to the old ways after a while? The culprit is your organizational design. We will define what organizational design is and identify the specific elements you must monitor to achieve deep and lasting change within the company.
Could your company be described by the phrase: “Everyone is working hard, but almost nothing is being delivered”? You will learn the crucial difference between a Component Team and a Feature Team and why Component Teams are an inherent source of delay and inefficiency.
Are you effective with one team but hitting a wall when scaling to multiple teams? You will discover the refined roles of the Scrum Master, Product Owner, and Manager in a multi-team environment, and learn how to structure and nurture teams to achieve the highest possible degree of autonomy and self-management.
