Team Kanban Practitioner (TKP)

The essence of Kanban is – “start where you are”, and start with “small pragmatic actionable steps” that you can start implementing next Monday! In other words, Kanban favours an evolutionary change approach rather than a big-bang, disruptive change.

Team Kanban Practitioner (TKP) is a highly interactive one-day introductory class on Kanban Method that is accredited by the Lean Kanban University (LKU). It is a great way to get started with Kanban on a team level. It focuses on actionable practices and techniques that can improve the flow of work in your team. 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
• 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”
