Professional Scrum™ with Kanban (PSK) provides experienced Scrum Masters and other practitioners with an introduction to incorporating Kanban practices into the Professional Scrum framework. This interactive and activity-based training course will teach students how to improve their working processes by adding proven flow techniques to the DevOps, Continuous Integration, and Continuous Delivery (CIIn addition). In addition, students will gain skills to achieve better outcomes through workflow by integrating theory, case studies, and hands-on exercises.
Additionally, this course focuses on helping students track and manage flow metrics to provide more predictable delivery patterns, ultimately helping them overcome common delivery challenges. Finally, this course teaches students how to implement Kanban within a Professional Scrum environment and what good Kanban looks like.

Sumeet is an excellent coach and can relate the subject to the day-to-day work we do. That makes our understanding easier. He ensures we understand our concept clearly without keeping any doubts in mind. I would recommend this course to anyone who is interested in learning about PSPO.

Optimizing flow requires defining what flow means in a Scrum context. Each Scrum Team must create its definition of “Workflow” containing the following elements:
First, a quick review of a key tenet of The Scrum Guide: Scrum is founded on empirical process control theory, or empiricism. Empiricism asserts that knowledge comes from experience and making decisions based on what is known. Three pillars uphold every implementation of empirical process control: transparency, inspection, and adaptation.
Scrum mandates that the Sprint Backlog be transparent, but it provides limited guidance on how to accomplish this. Nor does it define how to achieve explicit transparency to the flow of work into the Product Backlog, from the Product Backlog into the Sprint Backlog, and whatever happens to the work after it makes it into a “Done” increment. This is where Kanban can help. By visualizing work in new ways, a Scrum Team can apply the set of practices laid out in this guide to more effectively optimize value delivery. These practices borrow from and build upon the principles of lean thinking, product development flow, and queuing theory.
Scrum Teams achieve flow optimization by using the following four practices:
Visualization using the Kanban board is the way the Scrum Team makes its workflow transparent. The board’s presentation should prompt the right conversations at the right time and proactively suggest opportunities for improvement.
Work in Progress (WIP) refers to the work items the Scrum Team has started but has not yet finished. Scrum Teams using Kanban must explicitly control these in-progress work items from the time they consider them “started” until the time they consider them “finished.” That control is usually represented as a number or numbers on a Kanban board. Those numbers are called “WIP Limits.”
Limiting WIP is a necessary component to achieve flow, but it alone is not sufficient. The third practice to establish flow is the active management of work items in progress. Active management can take several forms, including but not limited to the following:
