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 is clearly very knowledgeable and I really enjoyed the format/setup. He made it way more interactive than other courses I’ve taken. Game changer.

Design Ops 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

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

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

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

David is one of the few experts that can blend the world of UX & Scrum. He calls upon his rich experience with design teams to share examples of how to improve performance. Exercises are spread out through the course giving the participants ample time to experience the learning.

VP Sales

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.
