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.

“David is an exceptional trainer. Nobody should think twice if given a chance to take his classes.”
— PSU participant

“David’s extensive knowledge and experience provided an in-depth and thorough understanding of Scrum Mastery.”
— Video Game Producer

“Very Informative. The small size of the class allowed us to interact with one another and ask the instructor questions. I am on an Agile team, but still learned new concepts in this course.”
— UI/UX Designer

“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 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

“A dynamic, content-packed, hands-on class with lots of scenarios and case studies. The instructor was open, committed, helpful, punctual, fun, and a true coach (Socratic in many great ways). It was great to hear examples of real life application from his expertise in the area, a great learning experience overall.”
— Customer Value Architect

“David does a great job of covering the topic of Scrum and how to be a Product Owner. He walks you through all of the key principles to make sure you understand their application while keeping you engaged and helping you understand the “why” behind them as well. He even throws in the occasional historical context for added depth.”
