Online (provisional) LeSS Practitioner

All of my online LeSS courses come with the offer of 90 minutes of my time to:

• Deliver a talk on a LeSS/Agile topic of your choice followed by a Q&A
• A group coaching or mentoring session
• A workshop where we will use Systems Modelling to explore a topic of relevance to you or your organisation right now
• 1-2-1 Coaching or mentoring

The Online (provisional) LeSS Practitioner course is a highly interactive, in-depth course covering the LeSS principles, framework, rules, and guides. It provides essential information for adopting and continuously improving your organisation using various thinking tools (whether using LeSS or not).

This course is split of 5, 4.5 Hour modules one a day over the course of one week.

The flow and focus of the course will be tailored to the expertise and growth areas of the people attending to create a unique and agile experience that learners get the most from.
