Overview of the Professional Scrum with Kanban Exam
Professional Scrum with Kanban (PSK I) validates expert proficiency in integrating Kanban practices within the Scrum framework to optimize flow and transparency. Targeted at Scrum Masters, agile coaches, and software developers, the assessment focuses on empirical process control, Little’s Law, cumulative flow diagrams, and cycle time metrics. Candidates must demonstrate deep understanding of work-in-progress limits, flow efficiency, and proactive bottleneck identification. The curriculum mandates the application of Kanban principles to manage evolving backlogs and maximize value delivery speed. Technical competence requires analyzing flow health using visual metrics to ensure consistent cadence while maintaining the core accountabilities defined in the Scrum Guide.
