Professional Scrum with Kanban (PSK) is a 2-day course that shows how to use Kanban practices in the context of a professional Scrum. Students should leave with a better understanding of what good Kanban looks like and a reinforced understanding of the importance of the Scrum framework's rules. .

Common myths debunked during class:

• Kanban is a task board.
• Work in process limits are immutable.
• Kanban is a process change mechanism.
• Scrum teams only benefit from Kanban within a sprint.

You'll learn the positive impact of introducing flow to Scrum’s Events (including inside and outside of Sprints) and the value of adding Kanban from the perspective of Scrum’s Roles. By the end of this course, you will how Kanban can be useful in solving core flow issues and evolving towards a continuous flow of delivery while continuing to benefit from the Scrum Framework.
