You will learn the big ideas in LeSS (Large-Scale Scrum), with a special focus on organizational design change implications.

Audience

Since LeSS (and even regular one-team Scrum) implies an organizational design change, the primary audience is senior managers (such as executive C-level managers) who have the authority and ability to change the design, including the authority to eliminate or change groups, roles, policies and processes.

A second key audience is ScrumMasters @ Scale who need to understand everything about Large-Scale Scrum and advise and educate senior leadership in the organizational design implications of LeSS.

A third audience are people in the various traditional manager roles that are no longer needed in Scrum, including functional (analysis, test, architecture, UX, ...) managers, team leads, project and program managers. This course will explore what new roles and behaviors may be relevant.

A fourth audience are people in traditional single-specialist roles no longer needed in Scrum, since Scrum is based on multi-skilled multi-learning T-shaped workers. This course will explore what new roles and behaviors may be relevant.

Prerequisites
