Large-Scale Scrum (LeSS) · Basics & Practitioner
Large-Scale Scrum doesn't scale agile by adding more process on top of what you already have — it scales by simplifying the organization until many teams can work off one product, one backlog, and one Definition of Done. We teach it privately at two depths: Certified LeSS Basics, a one-day overview of what LeSS actually is and whether it fits, and Certified LeSS Practitioner, a three-day deep dive for teams ready to adopt it.
Private training only · Taught by Scott Dunn, Certified Scrum Trainer & Certified Enterprise Coach · Basics: 8 SEUs & PDUs · Practitioner: 24 SEUs & PDUs
Private training
We aren't running public LeSS sessions right now. Every session is private, built around your teams, your product, and whether Basics or Practitioner is the right depth for where your organization is with scaling.
Either way works. Email a bit of context — including which track you're leaning toward — and we'll follow up with a plan, or skip straight to 30 minutes with Scott to talk through your teams and structure.
The credentials
Both are issued by The LeSS Company B.V. — the group behind the LeSS framework — not by Scrum Alliance. Attend the full session and participate, and it's yours the same day. Either one still counts toward your Scrum Alliance and PMI renewal.
What you'll learn
The four areas covered in Certified LeSS Basics, closing with open Q&A built around your organization's own scaling questions. Certified LeSS Practitioner goes further into each one, with three full days of exercises and adoption work.
Module 01
What Large-Scale Scrum is — and isn't. The principles underneath it, and why LeSS scales by removing structure rather than adding it.
Module 02
LeSS and LeSS Huge side by side: the rules, guides, and structural choices that separate a handful of teams from a whole product group.
Module 03
How product ownership, feature teams, and a single Definition of Done hold together once you're no longer coordinating just one team.
Module 04
Stories from actual LeSS adoptions — what worked, what stalled, and the organizational habits that have to change first.
Open Q&A
The session closes with extensive Q&A. Bring your own structure, your own product, and your own doubts about whether LeSS fits — we'll work through them together.
Who it's for
Certified LeSS Basics is designed as the shared starting point — bring the people who'll actually be part of the adoption.
Supporting multiple teams sharing one product, one backlog, and one sprint — and looking for a structure built for that.
Managing a single backlog across many teams, and wanting a clearer model for how that ownership actually works at scale.
Evaluating LeSS against other scaling approaches, or already leaning toward it and wanting the framework straight from the source material.
Funding or evaluating a scaling effort, and wanting a clear-eyed view of the organizational changes LeSS actually asks for.
Preparing to work as feature teams across a shared product, rather than as one team siloed to a single component.
Supporting the structural and reporting-line changes a real LeSS adoption tends to require.
On prerequisites: basic Scrum knowledge is expected. If you or your team haven't been through a Certified ScrumMaster course, we'd recommend starting there — the LeSS framework builds directly on those Scrum fundamentals.
Your session
Whichever track fits — one full day for Basics, three for Practitioner — you get a real credential and a standing invitation to keep working through your adoption with us.
Issued by The LeSS Company B.V., recognized industry-wide as the entry (Basics) or adoption-ready (Practitioner) credential for Large-Scale Scrum.
Access to the official LeSS Company resource library and community, alongside your teammates' accounts.
8 for Basics, 24 for Practitioner — counted toward renewing your existing Scrum Alliance and PMI certifications.
Bring the adoption you're actually working through to our alumni sessions with Scott and other practitioners.
Your trainer
Founder, Rocket Nine Solutions · Certified Scrum Trainer & Certified Enterprise Coach
Scott has spent two decades helping organizations grow from one team to many without losing what made agile work in the first place. He's watched scaling efforts collapse under frameworks bolted onto structures nobody simplified first — which is exactly the failure mode LeSS is built to avoid. This session is practical and plain-spoken, grounded in what actually holds up once your teams are back at their desks.
Questions
No. Both are issued by The LeSS Company B.V., the group that created the LeSS framework — not Scrum Alliance. That said, attending either one still counts toward SEUs and PDUs — 8 for Basics, 24 for Practitioner — which apply to your existing Scrum Alliance and PMI renewals.
Yes — basic Scrum knowledge is expected going in. If you or your team haven't taken a Certified ScrumMaster course, we'd recommend starting there before this session.
No exam, for either track. Attend the full session — one day for Basics, three for Practitioner — and participate, and you'll receive your certificate and a less.works account afterward.
We aren't running public LeSS sessions right now, for either Basics or Practitioner. Every session is delivered privately for one organization at a time, which also means the exercises and case discussion can be shaped around your actual product and team structure.
Email hello@rocketninesolutions.com with a bit about your organization, or put 30 minutes directly on Scott's calendar to talk it through first.
Certified LeSS Basics is a one-day overview — the essential concepts and whether LeSS is the right fit. Certified LeSS Practitioner is a three-day deep dive into actually adopting and running it, with far more time in exercises, adoption stories, and Q&A. Many organizations start with Basics for the whole group, then send the people driving the adoption through Practitioner. We also teach Certified LeSS for Executives on request for management-only sessions — just ask.
