Team Kanban Practitioner

The one-day training program is expanded by preliminary self-training and “homework.” This allows the most efficient use of time in the training for discussions, individual and group exercises. This training incorporates many concepts of “training from the back of the room”, in which the participants say and do more than the instructor: short blocks of theory alternate with practice and exercises. Also, the program includes a full-scale simulation of the Kanban system in a safe environment where all participants will be able to experience all aspects of the Kanban system.

Participants will learn to:

• Simulate workflow
• Create simple Kanban systems
• Choose a frequency of the several events/meetings

Target audience:
This program is designed for professionals who are responsible for process optimization, business performance, and project management: managers, IT directors, heads of departments, middle managers, team leaders, project managers, technical managers, engineers, and anyone who is interested in the results of the work of the various groups of people. Also, this training will be useful to ScrumMasters, who want to help their teams to get to the next level.

Training is particularly suitable for those who:

• wants to start working with Kanban systems and look for initial support,
• is already using a Kanban system and wants to check whether its implementation matches to the best practices in the industry and get new ideas to improve their system

Besides that, training helps synchronize understanding of Kanban for all participants and introduces a common “language” of terms – equally understand the terms, practices, and, most importantly, the purpose of process improvement using Kanban systems.
