Scrum Better with Kanban
About Scrum Better with Kanban
This course shows you how to blend Kanban’s proven techniques into your existing Scrum practices so you can reduce friction, improve flow, and handle variability with confidence.
The Six Core Kanban Practices
Visualize your work so nothing hides in someone’s inbox or head. When work and its flow are visible, problems surface faster, and priorities become clearer.
Limit work in progress to break the habit of juggling too many things at once. The goal is simple: stop starting, start finishing.
Manage flow by identifying what’s slowing your team down and clearing the path before bottlenecks become crises.
Make policies explicit so everyone on the team operates from the same playbook — no more assumptions, no more crossed wires.
Establish feedback loops that give your team the right rhythm for inspecting what’s working and adapting what isn’t.
Improve collaboratively by treating continuous improvement like a science — hypothesis, experiment, reflect, repeat.
The Three Principles of Evolutionary Change
What makes Kanban uniquely practical is its philosophy around change. Rather than pushing teams through disruptive transformations, it asks you to start with what you already have, pursue gradual improvement over radical overhaul, and cultivate leadership at every level of the team — not just from the top down.
