Learn with Craig Larman—the co-creator of LeSS—in this 3-day highly-participative course. COVID-19 PROCEDURES FOR SAFE IN-PERSON COURSES? For an idea of our goal in each city, from one of our great partners, watch this video. Learn with Craig Larman—the co-creator of LeSS—in this 3-day highly-participative course. Participants (senior managers, product managers, …) explore a deep understanding of large-scale organizational design, systems thinking, and LeSS, for adaptive development with many teams working together on one product. We explore adoption, new organizational design, systems optimization, the role of management, and more. This is a course in ORGANIZATIONAL DESIGN for large-scale product development, with the optimizing goal of ADAPTIVENESS. Learning and applying organizational design (policies of Finance/HR/Development, structure of sites/groups/teams, definition of jobs/paths, and much more) is the responsibility of senior management. (Course runs until 17:30 on all 3 days, including day 3; for certification, full attendance required) Critically, we explore the Big Idea of more with LeSS: simplifying & descaling over “scaling”, or… scaling product development by descaling the organization. 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. Join Larman for a deep dive into more with LeSS, based on his long experience with LeSS adoptions. Feedback from previous courses “It was inspiring to discuss LeSS with Craig Larman.
