I was stoked that Bas Vodde, co-creator of the LeSS (Large Scale Scrum, www.LeSS.works) framework, agreed to come on the show and answer my favourite questions that I aim to ask every LeSS trainer over the coming shows:

About LeSS

(+) What is your elevator pitch for LeSS?
(+) Did you choose LeSS or did LeSS choose you?
(+) What’s the one thing, above all others, you love about LeSS?
(+) What was your favourite LeSS adoption?
(+) If you could change one thing about LeSS what would it be?

Agile In General
(+) What is something in the agile world that should have been more popular?
(+) Following on from this, what is going to be the next big thing?

Bas Vodde ([ Ссылка ]) is an experienced coach in agile methods and especially Scrum. He’s also a certified Scrum trainer.

He is originally from Holland, however, has lived in China, Finland and is currently living in Singapore. In the 90s he worked as a developer in Holland and felt a mismatch between what he experienced as working and between “what the official literature said you should do”. That was solved with the introduction of Extreme Programming and even more so, with Agile Development in general. At the beginning of 2001, he had enough of the “normal life” and moved to China where he started working for Nokia. Here, he gained experience on very large projects and the traditional ways they are run. After this, he became even more convinced that Agile Development is the way forward, for all size projects.

Bas created the LeSS framework with Craig Larman ([ Ссылка ]) over a number of years working alongside each other, a topic which we explore in this interview.

A number of things were mentioned during the interview, I felt it right to share some links here to make it easier for you to see what we were speaking about:

LeSS Case Studies ([ Ссылка ])
There are 10’s of great case studies here to read, Ben’s RBS case study ([ Ссылка ]) is a great example and the most recently released case study on huge LeSS Huge, autonomous driving at BMW ([ Ссылка ]), whilst a hefty read is well worth it.

Test-Driven Development ([ Ссылка ])
A mindset and practice that should be much bigger than it is!

Merciless Refactoring
This XP article is a little old now ([ Ссылка ]), but don’t let that put you off! This article by James Shore is also worth reading ([ Ссылка ]).

Bas’s LeSS Courses ([ Ссылка ])
You can find all of Bas’s courses here.

The LeSS Rules ([ Ссылка ])
Find the most up-to-date LeSS Rules here. These evolved over time to help organisations get the most out of LeSS so well worth reading.
