Kanban in Action! Our two day training, Applying Kanban, takes a deeper look at the hard facts. This substantial foundational training prepares you to immediately deploy Kanban in your organization or to execute a review of your existing Kanban system. We talk about comprehensive visualization, the effects of push versus pull, how to establish a work flow and how Kanban works on different organizational levels of a company. All the exercises are based on real-world examples and are directly applicable for your daily work with Kanban.

Topics:

  • What is Kanban?
  • Making work visible – visualization
  • Understanding WIP and setting proper WIP limits
  • Pull vs. Push
  • Flow-based work
  • Flight Levels – where does Kanban fit in your company
  • Agile scaling with Kanban – from 5 to 2000 persons
  • Combining Kanban and Scrum or other agile methods
  • Feedback loops  – meetings in Kanban
  • Successful start with Kanban

 

When just starting off, it’s important to have a solid knowledge of Kanban basics. In Applying Kanban, you will work intensively with the foundations which are necessary for an efficient and goal-oriented implementation. The principles and functionalities of Kanban, as well as the systematic approach to working with Kanban, are our top priority in this training.

Working “Hands-on” with Kanban
For us, it is important to gear the trainings towards practical experience. Theories are presented in a quick and understandable manner so you can immediately start trying them out on concrete problems—preferably your own! Regardless if you are in Product Development, Support, IT Operations, Software or Hardware Development: In this training, you will receive the answers to your specific questions and challenges.
 
During the training, you have the opportunity to develop a Kanban system within your desired context. In doing so, you incorporate proper visualization, work flow and, naturally, WIP limits. At the same time, you consider which level of your organization would be the best place to start implementing a Kanban system.
 
Audience: managers, CIO, department managers, line managers, team leaders, project managers, technical leaders, engineers
The ’Applying Kanban’ Foundation Level training is designed for professionals, who are in charge of process optimization, business performance or project management or anyone with interest in organization performance improvements.
