Kanban System Design (KMP I)

This 2-day Foundations-level Kanban training class, certified by Kanban University, is for managers, developers, and anyone wanting to learn the fundamentals of the Kanban Method. The class includes the use of a Kanban simulation as well as exercises to design an actual Kanban system.

Course content and objectives

Participants will learn how to design a Kanban system and initiate change with Kanban. They will learn the basic concepts of flow, pull, and collaborative improvement. At the end of the training, participants will understand:

How to work with shifting priorities
How to deal with interrupt work and multi-tasking
How to deal with important but not time-critical work
How to avoid having work pile up in one place (or time) while there is a lack of work in another place
How to create flow in the work, the information to perform the work, and the teams that do the work

The content of this course covers the following topics, presented in the form of interactive exercises organized in small groups, plus games, classroom teaching and discussion.

Controlling Work in Progress (from push to pull)
Visualizing work (designing the card wall)
Measuring and managing flow (control charts, flow diagrams)
Making policies explicit (classes of service)
Managing change and collaborative improvement

The class curriculum is based on the work of David J Anderson, Kanban thought leader, and author of the definitive book, Kanban: Successful Evolutionary Change for your Technology Business.
