Professional Scrum with User Experience

Live Virtual Class, September 18-19, 2023

Class Overview

PSU (Professional Scrum with User Experience) is a practical training course that uses various activities to demonstrate how Scrum and User Experience (UX) can harmonize and combine their efforts. The aim is to establish cross-functional teams that can work collaboratively with end users and customers, resulting in increased value and better results.

The two-day class teaches Product Owners and Scrum Masters how to incorporate design, research, and learning into their Scrum process. Using Lean UX techniques, teams can focus on customer-centric design and discovery, while Scrum focuses on rapid delivery and customer feedback. The class utilizes a dual-track agile process and an ongoing case study to demonstrate how cross-functional teams can work together to deliver value-based outcomes. The course was created in collaboration with the authors of the book Lean UX - Jeff Gothelf and Joshua Seiden - to help students overcome the challenges of integrating design and development activities. 

  • Understand how the Scrum Team can connect more closely with end users and customers
  • Understand how “easily” and “quickly” we can do product development and include UX
  • Leave with some UX techniques that can be accomplished within the Scrum Team
  • Focus on outcomes and impacts over outputs
  • Realize the importance of incorporating UX work as part of the Product Backlog
  • Learn the value of testing hypotheses with experiments and validating the value of the outcome
