Professional Scrum with Kanban (PSK) Certification Training
Apply Kanban practices and improve flow in Professional Scrum
"Simplicity—the art of maximizing the amount of work not done—is essential." — Agile Manifesto
Leverage Kanban’s simplicity to amplify your Scrum effectiveness.
Are you using Scrum but struggling with workflow challenges, bottlenecks, or unpredictable delivery? Integrating Kanban practices into your Scrum framework could be the solution you need. AgileWoW presents the Professional Scrum with Kanban (PSK) course—an interactive, hands-on training designed for experienced Scrum practitioners to significantly enhance their Scrum practices through proven Kanban techniques.
There is a common misconception that teams must choose between Scrum and Kanban. However, successful agile teams at organisations like Spotify, Microsoft, and Siemens have proven otherwise by effectively integrating these complementary methods and framework to deliver sustainable value continuously.
What You'll Learn: Integrating Scrum and Kanban Effectively
During this comprehensive 2-day interactive
course, you will explore how Scrum teams can effectively incorporate Kanban
practices to optimize workflow, improve predictability, and deliver greater
value. You will learn by doing, through a balanced mix of theory, interactive
exercises, and real-world case studies.
Key Kanban practices covered:
1. Visualization of Sprint Backlog:
Learn to create effective Kanban boards to enhance transparency and manage
workflow visually.
2. Limiting Work in Progress (WIP):
Discover how appropriate WIP limits reduce task-switching and increase
team focus, improving overall efficiency.
3. Active Management of Workflow:
Master the techniques of monitoring, adjusting, and proactively managing
tasks as they flow through your process.
4. Inspecting and Adapting Flow:
Cultivate continuous improvement by regularly evaluating your process and
adapting practices to maintain optimal workflow.
