Ravi Jay wins the competition for the most questions asked to me in one course.

He had so many questions that I invited him onto the podcast so that we could finish them off.

He did not disappoint.

What makes Ravi's questions so interesting is that they are coming from a very practical and realistic frame of mind.

So when he asks about performance reviews, I don't respond with

"In LeSS there are no performance reviews"
or
"in an agile environment we want continuous feedback not an annual ritual to share out of date news"

No, I was helpful and gave some valuable advice that can be applied with ease so we explored:

In LeSS Huge how might rotating the APO and PO role help with performance
How might a LeSS org think about career progression and competency improvement
Why Career paths are flow and we should think more about a Mosaic's
Clarity coming from Maturity
And so much more....

Speaking of value, during the conversation I mentioned some LeSS Job descriptions. These are just as good in an healthy agile environment as well as a LeSS one so enjoy!

I also mentioned Saloni Seth-Watkin's (Candidate LeSS Trainer) talk from the LeSS conference 2021 where she spills the beans on LeSS needing More so here it is.
