Scrum Better with Kanban (SBK) is the practical microcredential for practitioners who want to combine Scrum’s cadence with Kanban’s flow to deliver value faster and more predictably. SBK prepares you to lead teams that use sprint-based planning while managing flow, limiting work in progress, and removing bottlenecks—making you more effective and more marketable in modern Agile environments.

Why SBK

SBK gives you immediately usable skills that improve team throughput, reduce rework, and increase predictability. This course is ideal if you are starting your Agile journey or if you already work in Scrum and want to adopt flow practices to accelerate delivery. The training also enhances your professional profile and increases your earning potential by adding a practical, in‑demand hybrid skillset.

What You Will Learn

  • How to combine Scrum and Kanban to preserve Scrum events while enabling continuous flow.

  • Board design and visualization techniques tailored for Scrum teams.

  • WIP limits and pull systems to reduce context switching and cycle time.

  • Flow metrics and dashboards (cycle time, throughput, cumulative flow) to make data‑driven decisions.

  • Practical policies and experiments to remove bottlenecks and improve predictability.

  • How to scale flow practices across multiple teams and align them to business outcomes.
