Workshop Description

Professional Scrum with Kanban™ (PSK) is a hands-on, activity-based workshop that teaches experienced Scrum Masters and other Scrum practitioners how to improve the way they work by applying Kanban practices in the context of Professional Scrum.

There is a myth that teams need to choose between using Scrum or Kanban. There are many benefits to optimizing the flow of work in Scrum by leveraging Kanban practices. In this 2 day workshop, learners will learn the benefits of using Scrum and Kanban together.

Learners 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.

Organizations using DevOps, Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) will find adding flow to their application of Scrum to be a natural complement.

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 workshop has a focus on helping learners track and manage flow metrics to provide more predictable delivery patterns, ultimately helping them to overcome common delivery challenges with getting to “Done”. Learners will leave with a better understanding of what good Kanban looks like and how to implement it within a Professional Scrum environment.

The workshop includes a free attempt at the globally recognized Professional Scrum with Kanban™ (PSK) certification exam. This certification is known all around the world and shows you’re skilled in this area. It’s a big achievement for your career.

This workshop will be delivered by authorized Professional Scrum Trainer.
