Book description
The Go-To Resource for Large-Scale Organizations to Be Agile
Rather than asking, “How can we do agile at scale in our big complex organization?” a different and deeper question is, “How can we have the same simple structure that Scrum offers for the organization, and be agile at scale rather than do agile?” This profound insight is at the heart of LeSS (Large-Scale Scrum).
In Large-Scale Scrum: More with LeSS, Craig Larman and Bas Vodde have distilled over a decade of experience in large-scale LeSS adoptions towards a simpler organization that delivers more flexibility with less complexity, more value with less waste, and more purpose with less prescription.
Targeted to anyone involved in large-scale development, Large-Scale Scrum: More with LeSS, offers straight-to-the-point guides for how to be agile at scale, with LeSS. It will clearly guide you to
Adopt LeSS
Structure a large development organization for customer value
Clarify the role of management and Scrum Master
Define what your product is, and why
Be a great Product Owner
Work with multiple whole-product focused feature teams in one Sprint that produces a shippable product
