Scrum thrives when work flows predictably and efficiently.
Scrum Better with Kanban (SBK) equips you with the tools to make that happen.

Scrum Better with Kanban is a dynamic, 100% live one-day course that blends hands-on learning with practical application. Discover how Kanban principles, practices, and evolutionary change management can elevate your Scrum team's performance—no prework or homework required.

Guided by seasoned agile coach Don Patti, whose expertise is rooted in Lean thinking, you'll master essential techniques to visualize work, limit WIP, manage flow, define policies, leverage feedback loops, and enhance Scrum events for greater impact.

Boost predictability. Foster flow. Accelerate value delivery. Drive sustainable change. Tackle common pain points like unplanned work, bottlenecks, and long lead times—and leave with a clear, actionable roadmap for improvement.

Upon completion, you'll earn dual credentials from both Kanban University and the Scrum Alliance. More importantly, you'll return equipped to evolve Scrum with confidence and deliver measurable results.

Your trainer, Don Patti, is a Certified Scrum Trainer (CST) and Accredited Kanban Trainer (AKT) with more than 20 years of experience coaching agile teams and leading virtual training workshops. He is known for creating engaging sessions where participants actively explore how Scrum and Kanban practices work together to improve team performance.

As an active agile coach and consultant, Don works directly with organizations to improve delivery flow, increase transparency, and help teams identify and remove bottlenecks. He brings these real-world insights into the classroom so students can see how Kanban practices can strengthen their existing Scrum process.

Don’s workshops are highly interactive and focused on practical application, helping participants learn how to visualize work, manage flow, and continuously improve how their teams deliver value.
