Practicing The Art of Kanban

The Kanban Method is a powerful approach to improve workflow, increase team efficiency, and drive continuous improvement. By the end of the course, participants will leave with a solid understanding of the Kanban Method and the ability to implement it effectively in their own contexts. They will be equipped with the necessary knowledge, skills, and tools to improve workflow efficiency, drive continuous improvement, and enhance overall team performance.The course explores the core principles and values that underpin the Kanban Method. Through hands-on simulations, participants will experience a Kanban system and learn how to visualize and optimize workflow effectively. They will gain insights into limiting work in progress (WIP) and witness the impact of flow optimization on productivity and delivery.Running effective Kanban meetings is crucial for successful implementation. Participants will learn the different types of Kanban meetings and their purposes, along with strategies for fostering effective communication and collaboration within the team.The course dives into the practical aspects of building and designing a Kanban system using the STATIK approach. Participants will gain skills in mapping the value stream, identifying bottlenecks, and designing Kanban boards that visualize workflow and facilitate efficient task management.Utilizing key metrics is vital for measuring and improving Kanban performance. Participants will gain a deep understanding of lead time, cycle time, run charts, and cumulative flow diagrams, enabling them to make data-driven decisions and drive continuous improvement in their Kanban systems.
