Management Professional

The Kanban System Design course will enable participants to not only understand the basics of using Kanban at a team level, but also how to actively design better systems of work using the Kanban Method. They will learn how to design a Kanban system (or improve an existing one) and initiate change with Kanban. They will also learn the basic concepts of flow, pull and collaborative improvement. This will allow them to lead their teams through evolutionary change in accordance with the needs of the organization in a meaningful way. The class includes the use of a Kanban simulation as well as exercises to design an actual Kanban System.

​

What Participants will learn

 

This course is highly interactive - with relevant exercises and simulations allowing students to learn through doing as well as drawing upon the experiences of the trainer. Included in this is:

  • Visualizing different types of work

  • Visual board and ticket design

  • Pull systems

  • Classes of Service

  • Creating a "flow" for work

  • Using Kanban metrics to manage flow

  • Understanding of "STATIK" - the Systems Thinking Approach to Introducing Kanban

​

What participants will get

  • Courseware and materials

  • Digital copy of David J Anderson’s book “Kanban: Successful Evolutionary Change for Your Technology Business”
