Training.
Most training dies on the Monday. Two good days, real questions, people leaning in, and then the first roadmap review quietly teaches them what actually matters here. I have watched it happen from the audience.
So the question is not which course is best. It is which one your teams can act on when they get back to their desks.
Start from where you are#
I am an accredited Professional Kanban Trainer, I teach five courses, and I have led training for 600+ product and delivery practitioners. I am not going to take anyone through all five. Each has its own audience, and most organisations only ever need one or two.
You are a Scrum shop and that is not changing. Fine. You do not need a new framework, you need to see how work actually moves inside the one you have. That is Applying Flow Metrics for Scrum (AFMS).
You want to use Kanban for the first time. Start at the start, with the practices and what they are for rather than the board. That is Applying Professional Kanban (APK).
You have the basics and now you want to dig deep. Simulation, forecasting, what can go wrong, and what to do when it does. That is Applying Metrics for Predictability (AMP).
You are going from one team to many. Multiplying across teams, or widening along the value stream, upstream into demand or downstream into delivery. That is Applying Scaled Portfolio Kanban (ASPK).
You want to connect product value to flow. How the bets made at the front end show up, or fail to, in what gets delivered. That is Accelerating Product Value (APV).
It is rarely one course#
They stand alone, and most of the time the honest answer is some of one and some of another, put together around what your teams can already do.
Where a group is ready for it, we run two together and take them from the basics through to practitioner. That is a capability shift rather than a course, and it is the version I would rather sell you.
When the curriculum is not the right fit#
I also build workshops from scratch: discovery and strategy framing, OKR setting, decision facilitation, outcome-focused retrospectives. Purpose-made for the problem in front of you.
Either way, people leave with artefacts they can use on Monday, which is the only test of this that matters.

Tell me where your teams are now and what you need them to be able to do. I will tell you which of these fits, including when the answer is none of them.
