The sad truth
• Succeeding with one-team-Scrum is
difficult enough.
• You organization is probably bigger
than it needs to be.

scale your organization.

specific context
The basic assumptions
(just like scrum…)
For large groups, LeSS hits the sweet
spot between defined concrete
elements and empirical process
control.

Wolfgang puck - Chef
The biggest difference between home cooks and
professional chefs is that home cooks don't taste the
dish often enough as they prepare it. They just follow
the recipe step-by-step, without getting that
