Team Kanban Practitioner

 In affiliation with Lean Kanban University (LKU)

This 8 hours virtual Workshop on Team Kanban Practitioner covers Kanban practice in detail. Kanban Professionals help teams in improving productivity, create visibility and bring transparency in the communication.

Kanban Does not believe in overhauling the entire process and starting from scratch. Rather, you start by taking pragmatic steps to improve what you have without disturbing the process, teams or organization structure. This significantly reduces the fear of new, people find it easy to adopt. The WIP limits, the visible kanban boards Cycle time and Kanban style stand-up meeting help you expose the bottlenecks and dependencies, brings transparency and improves collaboration.

Pioneered by David Anderson, “Kanban Method” is much more than just a board or a kanban system. It is a management method that helps improve service delivery, catalyze improvements and evolve a business to be “fit for purpose”.

What will you Learn in Team Kanban Workshop?

The team Kanban Workshop is approved by Lean Kanban University. This course starts with Kanban principles and practices, shares the idea of Kanban system via an interactive simulation game, and discusses board design, ticket design, and classes of service among other basic Kanban concepts – in short, a great way to get started with Kanban on a team level.

Some of the common situations where Kanban can provide a great value include:

• New Scrum teams struggling to reach a sustainable pace of development
• Scrum teams that are overwhelmed by frequent changes in the Sprint scope
• Non-agile (waterfall) teams that wish to transition to Agile, but feel Scrum could be too risky, too disruptive
• Mature Scrum teams that wish to transition to Continuous Delivery
• Teams looking for an “alternative path to agility”
