I recently completed the Professional Scrum with Kanban (PSK) course, and it was an incredibly valuable experience. The course effectively bridges the gap between Scrum and Kanban, providing a comprehensive understanding of how to integrate Kanban's flow-based principles into a Scrum framework. Content: The course content was well-structured and covered all essential topics, including flow metrics, Kanban practices, and how these can enhance a Scrum team's effectiveness. I appreciated how the course balanced theory with practical examples, making it easy to see how these concepts could be applied in real-world situations. Instructor: Our instructor was knowledgeable and engaging, with a deep understanding of both Scrum and Kanban methodologies. Nisha Patel was excellent at explaining complex concepts in a way that was easy to grasp, and she encouraged active participation, which made the learning experience even more interactive and insightful. Interactive Sessions: The hands-on exercises and simulations were particularly beneficial, allowing us to apply the principles we were learning in a controlled environment. This practical approach helped solidify my understanding and gave me the confidence to implement these practices in my own work. Takeaways: By the end of the course, I felt well-prepared to incorporate Kanban practices into my Scrum teams.

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:
