Your trainer Craig Larman

Craig Larman is the co-creator of LeSS (Large-Scale Scrum), with his friend and colleague Bas Vodde.

He works as an organizational design consultant, introducing LeSS with executive teams for very large and multisite product development (often, HW-SW systems).

He also works with product management for highly complex product definitions, and hands-on as an embedded-systems legacy-code C and C++ TDD coach, to keep in touch with the real work and workers.
