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.

In over 25 years in business, I have taken dozens of professional development courses and seminars, including 16 courses as part of an executive MBA, and against that backdrop I would rank David among the most effective facilitators I have had.

Program Director, BMO

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

My experience with David Sabine and his Professional Scrum Master (PSM) class was truly exceptional, owing to several key factors. Firstly, David’s profound knowledge and expertise in the realm of Scrum and agile methodologies were truly outstanding. He possessed the remarkable ability to elucidate intricate concepts in a manner that was both accessible and captivating, enabling me to grasp the fundamental principles of Scrum with ease.

Scrum Master

The best thing about my experience in David’s class was the level of genuine interaction and the space he created for reflection and open discussion. He didn’t just teach concepts — he facilitated meaningful conversations that made me feel like an active participant rather than a passive learner. What really sets this experience apart from other courses or seminars is his patience and his ability to make every question, no matter how big or small, feel valuable. I never felt rushed or dismissed, which made the learning environment both empowering and comfortable. This approach helped me internalize the advanced concepts in a way that felt practical and relevant to my role as a Product Owner.
