Description
During this cutting-edge two-day online Professional Scrum with Kanban (PSK) training course, you will learn how to apply Kanban practices to Scrum. The Professional Scrum with Kanban PSK training course offers an interesting and engaging mix of theory, real-life Scrum with Kanban case studies, and a myriad of hands-on exercises, that will help you understand the importance of transparency and flow as it pertains to the Scrum framework.
Our remote trainers are industry-leading experts in Professional Scrum with Kanban, and have extensive hands-on experience of practicing Scrum, Kanban, and both together!
In this PSK course, you will learn how Scrum Teams can introduce additional practices from Kanban while continuing the way they are already working today with Scrum, all without changing Scrum. Indeed, Scrum.org worked with Daniel Vacanti in the creation of this Scrum with Kanban course. In 2007 Daniel helped to develop the Kanban Method for knowledge work. He managed the world’s first project implementation of Kanban that year and has been conducting Kanban training, coaching, and consulting ever since.
