Professional Scrum with User Experience

Learn Scrum with UX from Josh Seiden, author of Lean UX, Sense and Respond, and Outcomes Over Output, and Gary Pedretti, a Professional Scrum Trainer that Ken Schwaber, co-creator of Scrum, describes as,

"…one who knows Scrum, agile, and software development with deep knowledge of how to create value and good outcomes...If you need help, want to talk with someone, and want facts rather than spin, talk to Gary."

Gary and Josh are the creators and course stewards of the PSU class, along with Erik Weber, PST, and Josh's Lean UX and Sense and Respond co-author, Jeff Gothelf.
