About the course

Modern Scrum teams often look to Kanban to improve their workflow. This course explores the ways Scrum is enhanced by integrating the essential Kanban practices and metrics.

People are practicing Kanban to improve the flow and quality of work. The Kanban strategy complements Scrum with pragmatic techniques that improve transparency and continuous improvement.

Scrum.org collaborated with Daniel Vacanti in the creation of this course. In 2007, Daniel helped to develop the Kanban Method for knowledge work, including managing the world’s first project implementation of Kanban.

In this class, you will learn the principles of flow in the context of Scrum for more efficient, predictable, and effective outcomes.

David does a great job of covering the topic of Scrum and how to be a Product Owner. He walks you through all of the key principles to make sure you understand their application while keeping you engaged and helping you understand the “why” behind them as well. He even throws in the occasional historical context for added depth.

His professional experience makes him an exceptional trainer, capable of adapting the material to your specific context and helping you apply Scrum to your unique challenges. He encourages reflection, welcomes every question without judgment, and was incredibly patient with me, even though English is my second language. He is also very approachable and eager to help, even after the course.

I recently attended the PSPO—A with David, and I absolutely loved the experience. David is an exceptional trainer — patient and attentive. What I appreciated most was how interactive the course was. The discussions were at the core of the training, and he actively encouraged reflection and welcomed different opinions. Every question I asked received a thoughtful and detailed response, which helped me deepen my understanding of the advanced concepts of the Product Owner role.
