Since the launch of Certified LeSS Training back in early 2015, Adventures with Agile have organised Certified LeSS trainings all over the world. Today we are pleased to announce that we will now offer the new Certified LeSS Basics one day course in London with our highly-experienced Certified LeSS Trainers, Ben Maynard and Dinesh Sharma who both have many years of deep experience in a wide range of sectors advising and coaching on LeSS adoptions.
WHAT IS LeSS?
Although LeSS is described as for scaling, LeSS is not about ‘enabling’ an existing big and clumsy organisation to “do agile” by painting agile labels on top. A key purpose of LeSS — the implication of its name — is actually descaling through organisational simplification. Descaling the number of roles, organisational structures, dependencies, architectural complexity, management positions, sites, and the number of people. LeSS is about scaling up the simple Scrum framework itself to achieve organisational descaling.
Unlike some other scaling frameworks, LeSS does not define a one-size-fits-all detailed recipe, and like Scrum, is based on recognising that development is too complex and situational for a prescriptive detailed recipe that a group can just “buy and install.” Rather, it will require creating a learning organisation, and lots of situational adaptation.
There are no fancy titles, no trains, no layers of management, but when you simplify and descale, you ought to be able to achieve more impact and flexibility with LeSS.

This introductory one-day course offers you the opportunity to gain foundational knowledge of LeSS before embarking on the 3 day Certified LeSS Practitioner.
