This live virtual PSK class runs 07-08 February 2022, 09:00-17.00 GMT.

Professional Scrum with Kanban (PSK) is a 2-day course that teaches Scrum practitioners how to apply Kanban practices to their work. Through theory, case studies, and hands-on exercises, participants will understand the importance of transparency and flow as it pertains to the Scrum framework.

Scrum is the defacto standard for how Agile teams work. Scrum exists only in its entirety and functions well as a container for other techniques and practices. Scrum Teams keep improving how they work, based on what they learn by inspecting and adapting on an ongoing basis.

In this class, students will learn how additional practices from Kanban can be introduced into their Scrum Teams without changing Scrum. They will learn how to add the right practices and the benefits that their Scrum Teams can achieve from using Scrum with Kanban.

The Professional Scrum with Kanban course is for all Scrum Practitioners, with an emphasis on Scrum Masters looking to add Flow techniques to their toolbox.

Overview

• Gain a clear understanding of how flow works within the context of Scrum.
• Be introduced to Kanban practices that Scrum Teams can adopt to help improve their effectiveness and efficiency
• Understand how to effectively use the appropriate Kanban practices without changing Scrum
• Learn a practical approach to improving transparency and visibility for their work

Prerequisites

It is expected that participants will have a solid understanding of Scrum gained through experience working in Scrum team, or by completing a Professional Scrum class or assessment such as Scrum.org’s Professional Scrum Master (PSM).

For all of our live virtual classes, we use Zoom as our conference tool. Zoom is very secure. It uses end-to-end encryption and delegates can only access the conference via an admin controlled waiting room. Activities are carried out with Mural. No software is required to be pre-installed for these tools, though you may need to check that there are no security policies that block the use of these tools if you are joining us through a corporate network. We ask you to try to ensure a steady internet connection (for example by connecting through cable rather than with WiFi).

Certification and Assessment

All participants completing the Professional Scrum with Kanban course will receive a password to attempt the Professional Scrum with Kanban (PSK) assessment. PSK class participants who attempt the PSK assessment within 14 days of receiving their free password and do not score at least 85% will be granted a 2nd attempt at no additional cost.
