Prerequisites
This programme welcomes those with a background in software development, but prior knowledge of the specific tech stack is not required. While primarily aimed at fluent software developers, we also accommodate a limited number of non-current developers (e.g. ScrumMasters or Product Owners) with some development experience, as long as they actively participate as developers during the programme.
No prior experience with LeSS is necessary as the programme covers all essential concepts and practices.
