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 made learning about Scrum fun which in turn made it easy to understand the concepts.

Project Manager

The simulation was a great help to experience Kanban. The discussion sections were interactive and David brought in real world examples and proactive steps that could be taken to help immediately back at work.

Sales Engineer

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 was a great instructor! The structure of the class made it easy to follow and ask questions. The 1-on-1 format was helpful as well, as it was nice to be able to ask questions and discuss topics in more depth than a group session would allow. Highly recommend!

New Product Owner

I recommend the PSU course to someone that wants to learn about Scrum, UX practices and even some Product Backlog guidance. Hands on exercises in the class helps bring the concepts together. I enjoyed taking this course and will be applying learnings at my workplace.

Senior Manager, Development

David is an authority on Scrum and related topics with extensive real world experience. He is also quite perceptive and communicates in a way that maximizes the learning experiences for students from all backgrounds. I highly recommend exploring business methodologies with him as he is grounded in ethical business practices.

Nuclear Medicine Technologist

I recently attended the PSPO—A with David, and I absolutely loved the experience. David is an exceptional trainer — patient and attentive. What I appreciated most was how interactive the course was. The discussions were at the core of the training, and he actively encouraged reflection and welcomed different opinions. Every question I asked received a thoughtful and detailed response, which helped me deepen my understanding of the advanced concepts of the Product Owner role. I highly recommend this training to anyone looking to elevate their Scrum practice and develop a more strategic perspective of the Product Owner role. David has a way of making the content engaging while challenging your thinking, making the learning experience both enjoyable and impactful.
