Visualize Value Delivery.

This training introduces the core concepts of Lean and just-in-time (JIT) production and prepares participants to apply Kanban to their work, including when to use Kanban alongside or instead of other Agile frameworks, like Scrum.
Through a combination of immersive team-based learning, exercises, and real-world case studies, participants will be able to:

Understand the “what” and “why” of Kanban
Describe the Kanban Method (Principles and Practices)
Apply core concepts of Lean (Flow, Waste, Cost of Delay, Work In Progress)
Setup and configure a Kanban board for their team
Utilize key Kanban metrics to manage the flow and reduce time to market
Focus on optimizing for the whole and limiting work in progress
Increase visibility to increase collaboration and eliminate waste

Kanban and Scrum are frameworks that fall beneath the Agile umbrella. It is not a question of whether one is better or the other, it’s which framework is best for the environment. Both frameworks have their strengths and weaknesses, depending on the situation. Kanban allows teams to visualize the workflow to identify blocks, limit work in progress to establish focus, and measure lead time.
