Kanban

In the Kanban training, participants learn to manage the flow of work, not just put it on a board. Through a simulation, they experience what too much work in progress does to speed and predictability. The one-day course is complete in itself: participants learn the foundations and apply them right away to their own workflow. A second day adds the advanced practices, from Service Level Expectations to forecasting with flow data.
