Abstract:

This talk is for LeSS managers seeking to enhance their organization’s development capabilities and policies.

Description:

Large-scale Scrum adoptions often involve messy, outdated codebases, making it difficult to introduce modern engineering practices. Join this session to gain practical “Go See” tips on stepping out of the office to observe the codebase and test automation at the gemba.

I’ll share my experience introducing Behavioral Driven Development (BDD) during LeSS adoptions and how analyzing Gherkin syntax can reveal the state of BDD practices in your organization.

Learn how to craft Gherkin scenarios that serve as living documentation, strengthening collaboration between business and development teams. Discover core BDD concepts, how Example Mapping improves requirements discovery, and best practices for implementing BDD in remote environments. 

Hear practical tips on how to use conversational AI assistants to help formulate clearer, easier-to-understand Gherkin examples by rephrasing requirements and extracting hidden rules from meeting transcripts during remote backlog refinement sessions.

Walk away with actionable strategies to reduce slow feedback loops, prevent misunderstandings, minimize rework, and accelerate delivery while building greater business resilience in today’s changing markets.
