Prerequisites

Students should be familiar with the Scrum framework and have applied it at least once within their organisation. It is mandatory that students are familiar with the latest Scrum Guide before attending this training.

Having a Scrum certification is not a mandatory requirement. No previous Kanban training or experience is required.

For all of our live virtual classes, we use Zoom as our conference tool. Zoom is very secure. It uses end-to-end encryption and delegates can only access the conference via an admin controlled waiting room. Activities are carried out with Mural and Jamboard. No software is required to be installed for these tools, though you may need to check that there are no security policies that block the use of these tools if you are joining us through a corporate network. We ask you to try to ensure a steady internet connection (for example by connecting through cable rather than with WiFi).

Certification

Upon completion of the class, participants will receive the Scrum Kanban Practitioner (SKP) credential from Kanban University.
