Apply Kanban Practices and Improve Flow in Professional Scrum 

Professional Scrum™ with Kanban (PSK) is an interactive, activity-based training course that teaches how to improve the way of work by applying Kanban practices in the context of Professional Scrum. Through theory, case studies, and hands-on exercises, students will learn how Kanban practices can help Scrum Teams achieve better outcomes by improving the flow of work. Organizations using DevOps, Continuous Integration, and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) will find adding flow to their application of Scrum to be a natural complement.

The course includes a free attempt at the globally recognized Professional Scrum with Kanban (PSK I) certification exam.

Course Overview

Students will learn how to optimize their workflow by adding four Kanban practices to Scrum:

• Visualizing the Sprint Backlog workflow on a Kanban board
• Limiting Work in Progress (WIP) 
• Actively managing work items in progress 
• Continually inspecting and adapting the way the team uses flow optimization

By leveraging these practices, teams improve transparency, collaboration and self-management, ultimately improving their ability to achieve Sprint Goals at a sustainable pace. In addition, this course has a focus on helping students track and manage flow metrics to provide more predictable delivery patterns, ultimately helping them to overcome common delivery challenges with getting to “Done”. Students will leave with a better understanding of what good Kanban looks like and how to implement it within a Professional Scrum environment.
