Welcome to part 2! This is the best 2nd episode for one LeSS Trainer conversation we have ever published!!
(and the first ;-) ) 

Last time we spoke about Potty Training (or at least I did), in part two we cover the remaining LeSS Trainer questions and also cover some of these tasty topics:

  • Learn how Jurgen and Ben work through their differences when they disagree on Ben’s desire for LeSS to be more popular
  • Should LeSS be mainstream, and if not why not?
  • Find out what Ben is thinking about for the LeSS Matters Christmas Specials
  • Do people want LeSS or simply multi-team Scrum and what's the difference?
  • What does it take to push Jurgens boundaries?
  • Is Scrum Master and Agile coaching a role or an industry?
  • Is a Scrum Master and Agile Coach?
  • FOMO is driving agile transitions leading to top-down change efforts

These are the LeSS Trainer questions we covered:

  • 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?

A lot of extra stuff was mentioned, here are some links I promised and others I did not:

  • The Land that Scrum forgot
  • Coaching Supervision
  • ICF and EMMC Team Coaching
  • ICF Codes of Ethics
  • Any academic research for coaching effectiveness
  • Software craftsmanship and testing community Belgium
  • Sandro Mancuso - Codeurance
  • Bas’s Tech excellence talk from the LeSS conference 2021
