Exam
There is no exam required to earn this certification.
Participants of this course will have to complete a short “priming” test to help them identify their LeSS blind spots, for example, regarding the role of Scrum Master in relation to multiple cross-functional self-managing teams or how continuous improvement takes place within the Scrum framework.
With the blind spots identified, we create a safe space in our classes to share them, explore them and ensure they are not blind spots by the time you leave.
Full attendance of the Certified LeSS Practitioner (CLP) course is required to be eligible for certification.
Who is this course for?
Roles such as these will all benefit tremendously by taking the Certified LeSS Practitioner certification:
- Scrum Masters
- Product Owners
- Agile Coaches
- Project Managers (whether Agile projects or otherwise)
- Managers in an Agile environment
- Anyone involved in a LeSS effort
- Anyone who is LeSS Curious
Prerequisites
There are no rigid prerequisites for attending this training.
We recommend that attendees will have completed a foundation-level course, such as the Certified Scrum Master® course, or be thoroughly familiar with Scrum introductory materials, such as the Scrum Guide. They should also have experience in practising Scrum. Some pre-reading will be sent to you upon registration.
Full attendance, participation and completion of the “priming test” will result in registration as a Certified LeSS Practitioner.
