日本語は可能です

十分な人数を派遣し、翻訳を手伝ってくれるスポンサーがいれば、このコースは日本語で提供できます。

私は コースのスペイン語版 を作成しました。このコースでは、すべての文章コンテンツが翻訳されています。これには、製本された参考資料、スライド、システム変数が含まれます。また、ライブ機械翻訳の字幕のソリューションも考案しました。

スペイン語版の組版とグラフィック作業が完了したため、コースの日本語版の作成が、そうでない場合よりもはるかに容易になると予想されます。英語をある程度習得している日本語ネイティブスピーカーの助けがあれば、2、3日もかからずにコースの日本語版を作成できるはずです。

日本語コースを効果的に運営するには、人間の翻訳者の助けも必要です。ライブ翻訳者による日本語コースの実施経験を持つ別の認定 LeSS トレーナーからのアドバイスに基づいて、これはうまくいくと思います。

このコースのチケットは、スポンサーがコースが経済的に実行可能であることを確認するのに十分な初期チケット ブロックを購入できる場合にのみ実行されるように設定されています。その後にのみ、個別のチケット販売を有効にします。登録ページに関連の詳細が記載されています。

貴社が初期チケット ブロックのスポンサーになる意思がある場合は、私に連絡してください、最善の道筋を検討します。ロジスティクス、ホスティング、その他の詳細はすべて解決しました。現時点で必要なのは、コースの実現を保証し、理想的にはコースの日本語版にも興味を持っているスポンサーだけです。

Japanese Is Possible

If there is a sponsor who is willing to send enough people, and is able to have someone help with the translation, this course can be delivered in Japanese.

I have created a Spanish version of the course in which all of the written content has been translated. This includes the bound reference material, slides, and system variables. I have also worked out a solution for live machine-translated captions.

The typesetting and graphics work completed for the Spanish version is expected to make creating a Japanese version of the course far easier than it otherwise would be. With the help of a native Japanese speaker who has a reasonable mastery of English, it should be possible to create a Japanese version of the course in less than a couple days of effort.

To effectively run a Japanese course, I will also require the help of a human translator. Based on guidance from another Certified LeSS Trainer who has experience delivering Japanese courses with a live translator, I believe this will work well.

Ticketing for this course is configured to only run if a sponsor is able to buy an initial ticket block sufficient to ensure the course is economically viable. Only then will I enable individual ticket sales. The registration page contains the relevant details.

If your company is willing to sponsor the initial ticket block, please contact me so we can figure out the best path forward. I have all the logistics, hosting, and other details worked out. All I really need at this point is a sponsor who is willing to ensure the course is possible, and who ideally is also interested in a Japanese version of the course.

Video Introduction

Course Agenda

The morning of the first of three days will be used to establish the overall context of the system modeling activities which follow. This will be done through a small amount of lecture, combined with both small and large group discussions.

Once the stage is set, we will transition to thoughtful analysis of the impact of different organizational design decisions on adaptability and value delivery using system modeling. Following each incremental framework-agnostic advance in our understanding, we will map concrete aspects of LeSS into our increasingly enlightened understanding of organizational system dynamics. The system modeling brings deeper insight, while mapping this insight into LeSS facilitates better retention along with an understanding of how to act on what is being learned.

We will continue to incrementally advance our depth of understanding using system modeling for the majority of the three days. Towards the end of the third day time will be spent: coalescing the whole of our enhanced understanding; providing guidance on how to move forward; and orienting participants on how to navigate a wealth of additional information.

DAY 1: Setting the Stage

The first of three days will be used to establish the overall context of the system modeling activities which follow. This will be done with a small amount of lecture, but primarily via small and large group discussions and exercises. We’ll follow this thread through the entire 3-day event.

  • Introduction
  • Avoiding Taylorism
  • Estimates, not Commitments
  • People are Valuable
  • System Optimization, not Local Optimization
  • Discovering Value
  • Implications of multiple Product Backlogs

DAY 2: Seeing Simplicity through Systems Modeling

On the second day, we will take what we learned about Systems Modeling on Day 1 and use those tools to understand:

  • Benefits of Cross-Functional Teams
  • Product Breadth Considerations
  • Private Code Impedes Technical Excellence
  • Managing Cognitive Fullness
  • Requirement Area Sizing Considerations

DAY 3: Modeling decisions through Systems Modeling & LeSS

As we continue to advance our depth of understanding using system modeling, the third day will be spent coalescing the whole of our enhanced understanding, providing guidance on how to move forward, and orienting participants on how to navigate a wealth of additional information.

  • Product Breadth and Adaptability
  • Avoiding Middlemen
  • LeSS Complete Picture
  • Structure Drives Culture
  • Adoption in your organization
  • Extended Q&A
