Large-Scale Scrum (LeSS) is a scaling — and more importantly, descaling — approach for multiple product development teams. While most frameworks add layers of coordination, ceremonies, and overhead, LeSS does the opposite: it removes the complexity that has accumulated around your product teams and puts the focus back on value.

In a single intensive day, you’ll learn why most multi-team agile efforts accumulate bureaucracy rather than reduce it — and what you can do about it. LeSS provides simple structural rules and guidelines for applying Scrum across multiple teams, without the governance overhead associated with heavier frameworks like SAFe.

Cprime and global training houses charge around $700 for a comparable class. Our standalone price is £300 + VAT — and the 30-minute follow-up coaching session with your trainer adds a consulting layer that no standard class at any price point includes.

The Course That Teaches You to Do LeSS, Not More

Most providers teach LeSS as a scaling framework. We teach it as what it really is — a descaling approach that removes the coordination tax, eliminates dependencies, and gives your teams back the autonomy that heavy frameworks took away. In 2026, most agile leaders aren’t looking to add more process. They’re looking to remove it.

The included 30-minute one-on-one session with your trainer turns this from a certification class into a consulting conversation. For a senior manager or coach considering LeSS adoption, 30 minutes with a practitioner who has actually navigated organisational change at this scale is worth the course fee on its own.

What Will You Receive?

	Scaling Product How to avoid costly, failed scaling approaches and use LeSS to encourage shared whole-product ownership — without the coordination overhead that most frameworks add.
	Eliminate Dependencies How to delete dependencies and organise teams around customer-centric features from the Product Backlog — enabling true cross-functionality and removing the stream coordination overhead.
	Organisational Design How to structure around cross-functional, end-to-end teams working from a single Product Backlog — fostering genuine collaboration and accelerating delivery.
	Answer Real Challenges Practical answers and expert insights on the big mistakes most organisations make in scaling — and how to avoid them. Drawn directly from practitioners who have navigated these transformations.
	The CLB® Credential The Certified LeSS Basics® (CLB®) from the LeSS Company — a lifetime certification with no renewal fees, recognised globally as the foundation credential for LeSS practitioners.

Included: A Free 30-Minute Coaching Session After the Course

Every booking includes a free 30-minute one-on-one session with your trainer after the course. This is where the theory meets your organisation — a private conversation about your specific context, challenges, and whether LeSS is the right fit for where you are now. Discuss your transformation challenges and get frank, practitioner-level guidance on your specific organisational blockers. Evaluate LeSS for your context — with someone who has seen what works and what fails across real organisations, not just case studies.

Course Topics: Your Path to Doing LeSS

Articulate why LeSS — the case for descaling and the problems it solves.

Explain how LeSS is a Scrum-based scaling approach — and how it impacts organisational design including structures and policies.

Explain the dynamics of component teams vs feature teams — and why the distinction matters for delivery speed.

Explain all LeSS roles and their purposes — including why there is only one real Product Owner and not so-called team POs.

Explain the LeSS Complete diagram — organising LeSS information in terms of principles, rules, guides, and experiments.

Explain how LeSS scales over eight teams — and the structural implications of LeSS Large.

Analyse your own organisation’s current state — and evaluate the applicability of LeSS in your current work environment.
