## **Overview**

### Bridging the gap between Scrum & design practices

Design and discovery 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. 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.

### Created in partnership with the authors of Lean UX

The curriculum is created in partnership with Jeff Gothelf & Josh Seiden. PSU is the cutting-edge course for anyone coaching an organization toward high quality user experience.
