The goal of building a best-in-class financial API platform brought together three offices in two European countries. Over 30 people united around this ambitious task and chose the LeSS (Large-Scale Scrum) framework to support their effort. But something went wrong. In the report, Denis will reflect on his experience of leading a failed LeSS adoption and share key findings he carried out of this failure. You will not hear the story of the “ideal LeSS”, but be sure it will be interesting!
