Successful Evolutionary Change with Kanban (Accredited training)

A Lean-Kanban University (LKU) Accredited Kanban Training

This interactive 2-day Kanban training class provides an introduction to Lean, Pull Systems and Kanban and the application of Kanban to successfully improve your delivery. Using Lean and Agile techniques, it provides a practical introduction into this new and exciting approach to accelerate the flow of work in your projects and operations: 
  • Moving from a push system to a pull system by limiting Work in Progress (WIP) 
  • Visualising work so that work becomes transparent and bottlenecks become visible 
  • Defining policies to foster team collaboration and self-organisation 
  • Shaping demand so that it balances with the team capability 
  • Hedging project risk with capacity allocation 
  • Reducing cycle time and multitasking 
Participants will learn how to design a kanban system and initiate change with Kanban. They will learn the basic concepts of flow, pull, and collaborative improvement. At the end of the training, participants will understand:
  • How to identify and address bottlenecks 
  • How to work with shifting priorities 
  • How to deal with interrupt work and multi-tasking 
  • How to deal with important but not time-critical work 
  • How to avoid that work piles up in one place (or time) while there is a lack of work in another place 
  • How to create flow in the work, the information to perform the work, and the teams that do the work 
The content of this course covers the following topics, presented in the form of intensive, non-technical exercises organised in small groups, games, classroom teaching and discussion:
  • Controlling Work in Progress (from push to pull) 
  • Visualising work (designing the card wall) 
  • Measuring and managing flow (control charts, flow diagrams) 
  • Making policies explicit (classes of service) 
  • Managing risk with capacity allocation 
  • Managing change and collaborative improvement 
Course participants will receive:
  • An electronic version of the presentation material (ppt format)
