Apply Kanban Practices and Improve Flow in Professional Scrum
Professional Scrum with Kanban (PSK) is an interactive, activity-based training course that teaches experienced Scrum Masters and other Scrum practitioners how to enhance their work practices by applying Kanban principles within the context of Professional Scrum. Through theory, case studies, and hands-on exercises, students will learn how Kanban practices can help Scrum Teams achieve better outcomes by improving the flow of work. Organizations that use DevOps, Continuous Integration, and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) will find that incorporating flow into their Scrum application is a natural complement.
The course also includes a free attempt at the globally recognized Professional Scrum with Kanban(PSK I) certification exam.
Course Overview
There is a common misconception that teams must choose between using Scrum or Kanban. There are numerous benefits to optimizing workflow in Scrum by incorporating Kanban practices. In this training course, students will learn about the benefits of combining Scrum and Kanban.
Students 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
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 course focuses on helping students track and manage flow metrics to provide more predictable delivery patterns, ultimately enabling them to overcome common delivery challenges in achieving “Done”. Students will leave with a better understanding of what good Kanban looks like and how to implement it within a Professional Scrum environment.
Scrum.org and our Professional Scrum Trainers collaborated with Daniel Vacanti and Yuval Yeret in the creation of this course, leveraging their expertise in Kanban. In 2007, Daniel helped to develop the Kanban Method for knowledge work, including managing the world’s first project implementation of Kanban. Yuval, the author of "Holy Land Kanban," is a recipient of the Lean Kanban community's Brickell Key Award for his work in helping establish a strong Kanban community, with several enterprise product developments in Israel and worldwide. In addition, all trainers of this class must have real-world experience in both Scrum and Kanban.

What John Coleman's Students Say
It's not just about Reviews & Ratings
Reviews & ratings are limited by nature. John needs to understand if the learning made a real difference back in the office. So, John likes to check in 12-18 months later. He notices a pattern of improvement and regularly receives pleasant vibes from the successful agility he inspires, thanks to ideas from the training. For example, see this experience report.
John's Scrum+Kanban Nexus+ case studies can be found at https://www.valueglide.com/blog/nexus-nexus-and-scrum.org-certifications.
John is grateful to be part of Marshall Goldsmith's #payitforward campaign and, in doing so, offers free coaching, mentoring, and co-training to a select group of potential agility chefs. Marshall Goldsmith taught John in Salt Lake City in February 2018. All of John's workshops #payitforward Marshall Goldsmith content, including Marshall's advice to John himself.
