Large Scale Scrum
Large Scale Scrum (LeSS) is a framework for scaling agile and Scrum practices to multiple teams working on a single product. It extends the core principles of Scrum—such as transparency, inspection, and adaptation—to larger organizations by defining roles, artifacts, and events at a multi-team level. LeSS aims to simplify organizational structures, reduce waste, and enhance product focus across many teams.
Developers should learn LeSS when working in organizations with multiple Scrum teams on a large product, as it provides a lightweight framework to coordinate efforts without adding unnecessary bureaucracy. It is particularly useful for companies transitioning from traditional project management to agile at scale, helping to maintain agility while scaling up. Use cases include software development in enterprises, financial services, or any industry where large, complex products require collaboration across many teams.
