Bridging the Gap Between Scrum & Design Practices

Design activities rarely seem to fit into “Sprints”. And it often feels appropriate to perform design work ahead of development. As a result, many teams struggle to incorporate all team members in the feedback loops that lead to high-quality design. This struggle is real, but solving this problem is worth the effort.

Development risks are mitigated by working in small, reversible steps — like the Sprint cadence. Scrum encourages teams to produce slices of new functionality each Sprint — design, development, testing, and delivery seem to occur simultaneously. As a result, many teams struggle to incorporate design activities that span multiple Sprints. This struggle is real, but solving this problem helps ensure the team is both building the right thing and the building the thing right .

The Professional Scrum with User Experience (PSU) course is a hands-on exploration of modern UX practices with Scrum. Learn UX techniques that fit beautifully with Scrum and practice these techniques with cross-functional teams in class.

Who Should Attend?

PSU is for anyone attempting to integrate the UX specialty with incremental & iterative development of product.

David was an incredible instructor! I had an excellent experience with him, and would definitely recommend him to other students in the future. He made it fun and engaging, providing examples and cases to get more comfortable with the information. When I took the Scrum Open before his 2-day class I got a 40%, and when I took the full exam after the class I passed with flying colors! Take this course if you want to learn Scrum!

My experience with David Sabine and his Professional Scrum Master (PSM) class was truly exceptional, owing to several key factors.

Scrum Master

I just completed David Sabine’s 2-day Professional Scrum Master course and it exceeded all my expectations. David brings a perfect combination of deep Scrum knowledge, real-world experience, and engaging teaching style that made complex concepts crystal clear. What made this course exceptional: Expert Facilitation: David didn’t just teach Scrum theory - he demonstrated it. His ability to handle difficult questions, facilitate group discussions, and keep everyone engaged for two full days was masterful. You could tell he’s lived these principles, not just studied them. Real-World Application: Every concept was backed up with practical examples from actual projects. David shared stories and scenarios that helped us understand not just what to do, but why and when to do it. The case studies and group exercises were incredibly valuable. Interactive Learning: This wasn’t a lecture - it was an experience. David created an environment where we could safely explore challenging situations, practice difficult conversations, and learn from each other’s experiences. The role-playing exercises were particularly insightful. Practical Tools: I left with actionable techniques I could implement immediately — from facilitation methods to stakeholder management strategies to handling team conflicts. David’s passion for helping teams succeed really shows. He created a safe space for questions, challenged our thinking, and provided honest insights about the realities of being a Scrum Master. If you’re considering PSM training, don’t hesitate - David Sabine’s course is worth every penny. You’ll leave prepared to make a difference as a Scrum Master. Highly recommended for anyone serious about mastering Scrum!
