Large-Scale Scrum (LeSS) Workshop

If yes, you might be well familiar with the challenges such as dependencies, local optimization, functional silos, communication gaps, rapid changes, increased risk, etc. Large-scale brings in additional complexity, non-linear behavior, and risk to the product development.

It provides simple structural rules, guides, and experiments on how to adopt Scrum in the large-scale product development environment.
