    Professional Scrum with Kanban (PSK I)

    This Scrum course gives IT Directors and Team Leads a way to unify the Scrum framework their teams already use. Kanban practices complement Scrum rather than replace it, which keeps change-management friction low. Built for Scrum Masters, Product Owners, Team Leads, and practitioners on infrastructure, DevOps, and service teams, the training helps learners visualize the workflow, set explicit policies and WIP limits, and measure the four flow metrics: WIP, cycle time, work item age, and throughput. They will also learn to use service level expectations to flag aging work before it becomes an escalation, and apply flow data in Sprint Planning, Reviews, and Retrospectives to forecast delivery from evidence instead of gut feel. Training Managers can sequence this in a Playlist alongside PSM I or PSPO I and follow per-learner progress and completion through Team Reporting.

Customer outcome

Build PSK capability across the whole team, not one engineer

Assign the Professional Scrum with Kanban I course to the engineers who need it, and the team report shows who has started, who has finished, and who has passed the practice exam — the view leadership uses to see Scrum.org skills coverage across the team and where the gaps are.

Team capability

Make PSK a number on your team capability sheet, not a single engineer’s certificate.

Standardizing your team on PSK gives leadership a clear picture of Scrum.org skills coverage — who has completed the training, who is still on the path, and where the gaps are — so staffing and escalation plans rest on known capability instead of on one engineer.

What does CBT Nuggets Professional Scrum with Kanban I training include for a team?

CBT Nuggets Professional Scrum with Kanban I courses are built by named expert trainers.
