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 operating principles for building or improving large-scale agile product developments as well as a series of practical tools for implementing it pragmatically and effectively. It was created by an international group of five coaches and trainers, who have pooled their experience of more than 80 years of large-scale agile transformations, 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.
Throughout 2025, this course includes the Scrum Alliance Certified Agile Scaling Practitioner (CASP) certification.
