Scaling Agile and Scrum

ELSE: Emergent Large-Scale Evolution

There is one Scrum, one Kanban. But when it comes to bringing agility to large products we are swamped with suggestions: frameworks, tools, rules, …

But … What is at the core? What are the principles that allow us to understand how to create large-scale agile systems – independently of frameworks?

ELSE is a collection of fundamental principles for large-scale agility and practical tools for pragmatic and effective implementation. It was created by an international group of five coaches and trainers, who collected and combined their experience of more than 70 years of large-scale agile transformation, distilling the key elements that determine its success.

Here you can find training on ELSE directly from one of their creators:
Pierluigi Pugliese, founder of Connexxo and Certified Scrum Trainer.

Course Organisation

The course can be delivered in person or in interactive online format. The training is a mix of frontal lesson and practical activities directed to the integration of the learned content in the daily operations of the participants. We will use plenty of case studies, where possible coming from the participants.

Target Group

The course is intended for managers, Scrum Masters and coaches working with large products in large organisations and intending to transform them to agile.
