Professional Scrum with Kanban™ (PSK) Training with Michigan Technology Services

Michigan Technology Services offers instructor-led Professional Scrum with Kanban™ (PSK) training, as well as other Agile and Scrum courses, through a partnership with an authorized Scrum.org Kanban trainer.

In a pre-Covid world our training would take place at our location in the Farmington Hills/Novi area, 20 miles outside of Detroit, or at your location anywhere around the world. Our Agile Leadership workshops and Agile coaching sessions are now offered online/virtually, reducing your need to travel.

Why Professional Scrum with Kanban™ (PSK) training?

It isn’t about Scrum OR Kanban anymore. It is about how to bring them together effectively. In The Professional Scrum with Kanban™ (PSK) class, you will learn: 1) how to define and visualize flow using Kanban together with the Scrum artifacts, 2) how to limit Work in Process, 3) how to actively manage and improve the flow in Scrum’s events, and 4) what your role will be when it comes to inspecting and adapting the Scrum Team’s workflow.

Is this PSK workshop is for you?

The Professional Scrum with Kanban course is an intermediate/advanced course specifically designed for experienced ScrumMasters, Leaders/Managers and other Scrum practitioners who have a good understanding of the Scrum framework and are interested to learn techniques for improving flow in a Scrum context.

It is also a good fit for Scrum practitioners looking to improve their team-level practices – and also a good fit for Kanban practitioners looking to add the power of Scrum.

There will be time in class for the Professional Scrum Trainers to provide coaching on flow challenges that you and your classmates may be experiencing.

Assessment and Certification:

All participants completing the Professional Scrum with Kanban course will receive a password to attempt the Professional Scrum with Kanban (PSK I) assessment. These industry-recognized certifications require a minimum passing score.

Student Successes

  • The Certified ScrumMaster and Certified Scrum Developer courses that Michigan Technology Services set up for our organization were great. The instructors (Mark and Angela) were outstanding.

    - SF, Senior Software Developer – Hewlett Packard Enterprise

  • The instructors were top notch and made the courses exciting. I have taken Cisco CCNA, Linux and SQL admin classes and I find myself using the knowledge gained every day. If you value getting quality content that will be relevant for years to come, take these courses with Michigan Technology Services.

    - SP, Detroit Network Team Manager – Global Advertising Company

  • I have taken the Scrum Alliance Certified ScrumMaster and Product Owner classes from Michigan Technology Services and thoroughly enjoyed the class content and instructors. I found the ScrumMaster class particularly engaging and energizing as the instructor was top notch. Both classes fueled my passion for agile project management and team dynamics which I have used to drive change in the way my department executes and thinks about running software development projects. I highly recommend Robert and his company.

    - Daniel King, Senior Project Manager – AAA Michigan – Auto Club Group

  • In February of 2015, the Detroit Housing Commission reached out to Michigan Technology Services to request Microsoft Office Excel training for the staff. Within a few days, Rob was able to set up the services at a very reasonable expense. The trainer was superb, knowledgeable and very patient with the students.  It was one of the best trainings that we have ever had.

    - De’Onna Henderson, Director of Asset Management – Detroit Housing Commission

  • We had an excellent experience working with Rob at Michigan Technology Services. He went above and beyond helping us to design three days of onsite customized SharePoint training for our associates. The trainer was beyond knowledgeable and instrumental in the success of the project. If customized training is what you are looking for, we are confident that you need not look any further than MTS for your business training needs.
