Professional Scrum with Kanban

The Professional Scrum with Kanban course is a two-day course that allows experienced Scrum practitioners to learn how to improve the way they are working by applying Kanban practices in the context of Professional Scrum. Through theory, case studies, and hands-on exercises, students will understand the importance of flow and how Kanban practices can help Scrum Teams enhance how they work. 

This Scrum.org certified Professional Scrum with Kanban class includes two free attempts at the PSK assessment. Delegates take a multiple choice assessment after the class, leading to a permanent qualification with no renewal fees.

Professional Scrum with Kanban Course Content

Professional Scrum Primer 
This course is for those who already have a good understanding of Scrum and wish to utilise Kanban techniques to augment that. This section of the course is a quick recap on what Professional Scrum is and how that understanding is unchanged when we apply Kanban practises in addition. 

Kanban theory principles and practices. 
We define and explore base principles and practises of Kanban and look at concepts like Batch Size, WIP and Cycle time. We also refer to the Kanban Guide for Scrum Teams. 

Kanban in Practice 
In this session we explore the mechanics of pure Kanban using a simulation or game to see the effect of Kanban practices and start to think about how Kanban might impact our Scrum. 

Scrum with Kanban 
Here we explore how some of the various elements in Scrum don’t change but are impacted when we add Kanban. What this means to the visualisation and definition of our workflow, the impact to the sprint Backlog.  

Introducing Flow to Scrum’s events 
Understanding the Impact to all the Scrum events: Sprint Planning, Daily Scrum, Sprint Review, Sprint Retrospective. Using the flow metrics in the different Scrum Events 

Flow/Kanban from the perspective of the Scrum Team 
We explore how are the various team members and their accountabilities in Scrum impacted when you add Kanban practices? How can they use these new insights to work smarter and improve the flow of value? 

The increment and the Sprint 
What a focus on flow means to our transparency and ability to deliver more frequently and how it might progress us along a journey to Devops.

    We had a lot of open discussions and had great, interactive group activities. The trainer not only managed to deliver in a virtual environment but actually took it to the next level, like using a graphic tablet to underline or circle in key phrases on a slide live. Seems like a small thing, but it actually gives a lot of value
