LeSS, Nexus, SAFe, XYZ - the more years passed since Agile Manifesto was created the more scaled frameworks we get. But is it really the only one way to help dozens of people to self-organise around the single product? What if there are other ways with fewer efforts and more efficiency, meaning, awareness?

I want to tell you the story of our company. One awesome product, millions of users all over the world, several platforms, around 100 brave people and... no backlogs synchronisations, no very special roles, no hierarchical structures, no prescribed aligned processes and no branded scaled frameworks.

On the other hand, there are technical excellence, impact driven development, platform silos absence, meaningful KPI orientation, lean startup culture and teams happiness.

How are we able to do this? Please, come and you will find out. A true HERE Maps team story with a lot of real examples.

This workshop will help participants to learn and to try several important product development technics.

We will learn how to

• frame new or ongoing product definition to set product development boundaries
• talk about our users to grow empathy that will help us to build the product, not just a set of cool features
• explore a problems area to make a positive impact to this world
• sharpen and optimise what you want to develop and deliver 

And cherry on top: we will do all these through the lego facilitation to make the session more effective and to learn how to boost team's creativity and efficiency.

All of these we will touch through extremely hands-on step-by-step exercises using LEGO bricks.

This workshop will help participants to understand how the Kanban method really works.

We will learn how to use the Kanban method to visualize your current process ("start where you are"). Will figure out how to limit work in progress (WiP); define and make process policies explicit; measure and manage flow.

Also we will figure out what does it mean to search for opportunities for continuous improvement. We will learn how to increase your team speed and at the same time decrease pressure at work.

All of these we will touch through extremely hands-on step-by-step simulation using LEGO bricks.
