This course explains how to apply Large-Scale Scrum (LeSS), our focus on consulting at coaching at relatively large products (e.g., 2000 people on one product) and relatively large enterprise transformations (e.g., 50,000 people) to adopting agile and lean principles, and scaling Scrum to this size. It also reflects our experience with large-scale multisite development in China, India, Brazil, Europe, and the USA, among other countries
This workshop covers the key concepts and practices that we've learned work for Large-Scale Scrum and agile adoption.
