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.

What People Say

David cares about his students and believes in the material. It was an awesome class experience and I learned a lot.

Instruction Designer

David had deep knowledge in Kanban. With this, and his adaptive approach to the training, I found it highly valuable.

Agile Coach

Honestly, there was nothing to improve on. David was the perfect mix of engaging, yet professional. The material was presented in an interactive way that invited discussion, but was informative enough to keep things moving at a good pace.

Product Owner

I would highly recommend any course taught by David. I walked away from his class feeling significantly more knowledgeable and capable as an Agile delivery professional. The skills and understanding I gained have already proven invaluable in my work.

Enterprise Agile Coach

Dave was a great instructor with vast knowledge. The insights provided help clarify some questions or confusion. The interactive tooling used in the class (Mural) was impressive and the scenario based group session really helped to solidify the material.

Forensics Security Engineer

David is the epitome of what trainers should strive to be. David is a practicing trainer, where he not only provides world-class trainings but lives the Agile mindset in practice...I hold him in a very small number of trainers I have no hesitation recommending to my clients.

VP, Contino

The value added of having a Scrum trainer like David, with proven expertise in the field, is obvious in his class. There is a great combination of concepts and theory with scenarios and case studies, which makes the class interactive and fun in an environment of openness and respect.
