Kanban Training

Kanban training for your team in Tallinn or another place in Estonia, at a customer’s premises or a rented venue. It might also be done as a part of the team off-site event.

There is also a possibility for online training. However, in-person trainings are usually more engaging and effective.

The preferred language is English.

Length: 1-2 days, depending on the maturity level of the team and the most important areas to cover.

Possible Topics:

• Kanban Core Practices
• Limiting Work in Progress
• Principle of Managing the Flow
• Classes of Service
• Metrics
• Forecasting
• Cost of Delay

The topics might be customized to meet your team’s needs better and may vary depending on the training length.

The insights your team probably gets as a result of the training:

Additionally, a System Design Workshop can be run to establish or review the rules of how your team will start or continue with Kanban implementation (0.5-1 day):

• Kanban policies – internal agreements that define a set of guidelines and rules that the team should follow
• Determining the WIP Limits
• Selecting and defining Metrics
• Identifying Work Item Types
• Identifying the Processes
• Determining the Classes of Service
• Working Agreements

Some insights your team will get are:

• We Cannot Complete More Work, Even If We Work Faster
• We Have Enough Time for the Work We Never Have Time For
• When We Set Limits, We Become More Predictable
• When Everything is Important, Then Nothing Is
• The Later We Begin, The Better For the Customer
• Local Optimization Brings Global Sub Optimization

How the training is done

The Kanban training is based on the brain-friendly methodology Training From the Back of the Room, which implies a lot of different types of practice to ensure a high level of engagement, understanding, and remembering afterward. It is highly interactive and very practical.

As it involves games, simulations, group activities, and discussions and also serves team-building purposes.

Additionally

It is also beneficial if the Kanban training is combined with Agile & Lean Foundation Training (or just the Lean Foundation part of it) as it helps to understand in depth the underlying principles behind Kanban “rules of the game.”
