What changes for your team

  • Stop Scrum from stalling
  • Make the real problems impossible to ignore
  • Turn advanced Scrum experience into recognised credibility

Immersive training pays back differently to a two-day course. Sessions spread across several weeks mean each idea is applied in your real work before the next one lands — so capability builds instead of fading under a backlog.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Professional Scrum with Kanban (PSK) course is for experienced Scrum Masters, Product Owners, Product Managers, Lean Agile practitioners, and teams who already work with Scrum and want to implement Kanban practices. It’s not aimed at beginners with no prior Scrum experience.

PSK includes the Professional Scrum with Kanban I (PSK I) certification attempt at no extra cost. If you take the assessment within 14 days and score below 85%, you get a free second attempt.

PSK is an interactive, activity-based course combining theory, case studies, and hands-on exercises to reinforce the practical application of Kanban within Scrum.

Attendees should have solid experience with Scrum; ideally, you’ve read the Kanban Guide for Scrum Teams and passed the Scrum Open assessment, but formal certification isn’t mandatory.

PSK builds on foundational knowledge from the Professional Scrum Master (PSM) course by focusing specifically on integrating Kanban practices into Scrum, rather than covering core Scrum concepts.
