Overview

 

Description

OVERVIEW

Kanban is fast becoming the modern way to manage an organization’s delivery of customer value. In today’s always-on environment, you need a clear set of practices that don’t get in the way of your ability to continuously deliver but that provides enough structure to keep everyone aligned and focused. This two-day course will give you an in-depth introduction to improving your team’s effectiveness by applying Kanban flow principles. 

In this class,  you will learn the basic principles of flow and how to use them to make your team process more efficient, predictable, and effective.  With an emphasis on the practical application of concepts, this course includes many hands-on exercises that will lead you through the steps of setting up and operating a Kanban system for continuous value delivery and improvement.

LIVE ONLINE – VIRTUAL

We have perfected our live-online virtual classes and include group exercises throughout using tools like Zoom breakout rooms and Mural (online collaboration canvas). Our students balance learnings from our instructors and from each other, as well as the use of a physical workbook (which is mailed to each US-based participant).

“Extremely professional and educational course. I took the CSM course - one of the best certification courses I have been a part of. The coaches take time to make sure the class understands concepts and fills the course with a great deal of team activity. Best part of all - NO power point slides! Highly recommended!” –

Our company is no longer project/task-oriented. Now it’s more about the people and constant process. We are more excited about delivering a valuable product on a continuous basis than finishing a project at a specific time.
