It is often said, by those in the personal training industry, that you cannot out-train a bad diet. What is meant by that, is that you could run 10 miles per day, then spend another hour in the gym pumping iron, but if you exist on a diet of fast food and beer, you are unlikely to achieve the health and fitness that you desire. The two things work together. Eat well, train well, get the body you have always wanted.
I have been coaching organisations through large-scale Agile transformations for years. It’s what I enjoy and it’s where I feel I can have the biggest impact. This is the story of how I came to specialise in this, how I began experimenting with the Large-Scale Scrum (LeSS) framework, and why I became a Certified LeSS Trainer.
It’s the age old debate. ‘I want self organising teams, but I need to set some constraints. I want some level of prescription, but how much is reasonable? When does it start disempowering the teams?’ This balancing act is being played out the world over in organisations adopting Agile. As an Enterprise Agile Coach and Large-Scale Scrum (LeSS) trainer, I spend a lot of time with leaders on this very topic.
