Welcome to LeSS!

Hi and welcome!

I am looking forward to joining you for 3 days. This class is designed to be more than just a certification class on LeSS; we will also explore concepts around organizational design and change.

My goal is that you get the most learning and value out of our 3 days together as I can possibly help you to achieve, so there is some important preparation ahead of time.

Pre-work:

1. Read this short guide on Scrum

2. Read this comic book

3. Take this one-team Scrum test. Action: Let me know how you do on the Scrum test

4. Watch this short video on Mind mapping

5. Watch this shortish video on Large Scale Scrum

6. Watch this short video example of a causal loop diagram

Some housekeeping:

• This class begins at 9 am and finishes at 5 pm. Please plan on arriving 10 minutes early. Note: We will finish 4 pm on third day.

• I suggest wearing comfortable clothes as there will be a lot of standing.

• Please no phones or laptops during the class but there will be plenty of breaks throughout the day.

I am here to serve and help you, so please contact me before or after with any questions or special requests.

Please send me a short email(ahmad@zone2consulting.com) about yourself, your experience with Agile, and what you want to get out of this class.
