Large-Scale Scrum (LeSS) is a framework for scaling agile development to multiple teams. LeSS.works gives an overview. 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 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.

Want to learn more about how companies have implemented LeSS? Please visit the LeSS Case Studies page.

Greg began the teaching and coaching phase of his career after many years of leading the development of successful software products in Northern California in small and large teams, having adopted early agile and innovative product management methods since the early 90's.

In his training, he shares this experience and centers the course on the context and questions of the students who participate actively.  You can read more about Greg at LeSS trainer's profile, his company website, and on LinkedIn.
