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

If you want to learn to be a Scrum Master, take this class with David. He is a exceptional teacher.

P.Eng, Product Owner

David used relevant examples for my work context which allowed me to immediately apply the Scrum concepts.

College Board Chair

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’s teaching style is engaging and effective. He was able to take his extensive experience and translate the course material in a way that helped me truly understand the concepts and their practical applications. The information he shared was clear, insightful, and immediately useful.

Enterprise Agile Coach

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.
