In a nutshell:

  • The new Scrum with Kanban course teaches individuals and teams how to use Scrum with Kanban practices, without changing Scrum.
  • This 2-day course teaches Scrum practitioners how to apply Kanban practices while continuing the way they are already working today with Scrum, all without changing Scrum. Through theory, case studies and hands-on exercises, participants will understand the importance of transparency and flow as it pertains to the Scrum framework.

Learn from Scrum.org, how to implement complimentary practices from Kanban within Scrum, based on the Scrum with Kanban guide, while still using the original Scrum guide as the landmark.

Taking Scrum as "rule zero", learn the practices of Kanban through close-to-real-life simulations. Visualize your work with my signals to your team. Improve flow efficiency and customer value delivery. Introduce Monte Carlo probabilistic forecasting to your Scrum team. Discover lead times that are more consistent, notwithstanding complex work. Learn the more powerful world of Scrum with Kanban.

Learn from the one of the most active Scrum with Kanban practitioner/trainer/coach folks in the world.

Collect PDUs or other education units from John Coleman's Scrum.org classes. Scrum.org credentials currently don't expire! The PSM credentials have a higher standard than any competitive offering in the marketplace. There is a high mark to pass, and fewer attempts are available. Scrum.org has consistent training. Would you prefer a credential that is easier to attain and possibly less valuable or a credential that sets a higher standard, and sets you apart? The Virtually all of John's students get through after their 1st assessment, with 1 to spare. And the scrum.org community is a lovely community that embraces the Scrum values in its actions, not just in words. Also, PSK is the only Scrum with Kanban credential in the world. We prefer attendees to be well versed in Scrum before attending class, like say by reading the Scrum guide several times at www.scrumguides.org and by reading several Scrum.org community blog posts.

Be prepared for an invigorating and exhausting class! Class sizes are small unless we learn a little about scaling topics when many people help with learning outcomes that relate to scaling.

John help teams, managers, leaders, change agents, and execs. He can answer all sorts of up to date questions with ease. John coaches, teaches, consults for sustainable growth of agility in non-software as well as software. He created Broad and Deep agility (BaDa) on top of the shoulders of existing theory & practice. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUen2CeyTDk. John himself is broad & deep from the points of view of agility, people & change.

Standing on the shoulders of giants

John is a systems thinker who happens to be a huge fan of Cynefin and sees the benefits of both, erring on the side of Cynefin where they clash. Most importantly, John takes an independent view. John is also a people & change thinker; he uses Spiral Dynamics Integral (certified to level 2) and other models; even if they are criticized in some quarters as pseudoscience, John finds aspects of Spiral Dynamics helpful in structuring better conversations with people. 

More proof he knows what he's talking about, and has done what he talks about
