Why is this course important?

Improve your Scrum by adding the practices and evolutionary change approach from the Kanban Method.

Scrum Better with Kanban can help you improve your Scrum through the introduction of proven Kanban practices, principles, and the application of evolutionary change management. This course captures the lessons learned from Scrum Teams that successfully evolved their way of working through evolutionary change using the Kanban Method. Our hands-on training will ensure that you walk away with a proven approach to introducing changes that will deliver results for your team and organisation.

This course is one of the first of its kind and is dual certified by the Scrum Alliance and the Kanban University. Each attendee will receive a certificate from both organisations.
