Grow-Lean’s Scrum Better with Kanban (SBK) course is for Scrum practitioners who want to improve flow, predictability, and outcomes by integrating proven Kanban practices. Taught by Don Patti, an experienced agile coach and trainer, this one-day, live workshop combines hands-on activities with practical change management techniques.
Go beyond standard Scrum events and artifacts. You’ll learn how to visualize work, limit work in progress, manage flow, and implement policies that stick — all while using evolutionary change to make improvements sustainable.
Earn dual credentials from Kanban University and the Scrum Alliance, and leave with actionable practices you can apply immediately to help your team and organization deliver more effectively.
Familiarize yourself with these policies and use our Contact Us Form if you have any questions.
Grow-Lean has policies around situations where you as an attendee, or Grow-Lean as a host, must cancel or reschedule. Grow-Lean's policies are consumer-friendly in recognition that unforeseen things happen, but Grow-Lean asks for thoughtfulness about canceling late so Grow-Lean can continue to put their customers first.
By registering yourself or others for the session, or by being a registrant, you agree to the policies below. If you have any questions, please contact Grow-Lean.
Cancellation requests received at least sixteen (16) days prior to the event will receive a 100% refund minus a 5% credit card processing fee.
Cancellation requests received fifteen (15) to eight (8) days prior to the event will receive a 100% refund minus a 5% credit card processing fee and a $125 late cancellation fee.
Cancellation requests received seven (7) or less days prior to the event will receive a credit equal to 50% of the amount paid that can be applied to any future event that the registrant will take in the next twelve months.
Reschedule requests received at least sixteen (16) days prior to the event will have no fees for the first request. Additional reschedule requests will be subject to a $125 transfer fee.
Reschedule requests received less than sixteen (16) days prior to the event will be subject to a $125 transfer fee.
Grow-Lean tries to avoid rescheduling. If Grow-Lean needs to reschedule, all registrants will promptly receive a 100% refund. Registrants may decide to be transferred into the rescheduled event, or another upcoming event, instead of the refund if they desire.
In the event where the original listed trainer cannot deliver the course, Grow-Lean reserves the right to substitute a trainer. This is a rare occurrence, but this policy allows Grow-Lean to deliver a course while minimizing the student impact. Trainers provided in this event will have met Grow-Lean's high quality standards to ensure registrants receive valuable training.
