You will explore the rollout and daily operation of a Kanban system. You will consider what type of Kanban initiative is most appropriate for your organisation and how to effectively manage and evolve it over time. Learn how to improve agility with asymmetrical commitment and regular cadences for meetings and feedback. The class also covers metrics and effective policies.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0px; background: transparent; color: rgb(24, 24, 24); font-family: avenir-lt-w01_35-light1475496, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; min-height: 1.5em;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0px; background: transparent; color: rgb(24, 24, 24); font-family: avenir-lt-w01_35-light1475496, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; min-height: 1.5em;"><strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent;">You will learn&nbsp;</strong></p><ul><li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent;">The basics of evolutionary change and why it is the preferred, humane approach and effective at dealing with resistance to change</li><li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent;">To utilise the Kanban cadences to provide important feedback loops to grow, evolve, and improve your Kanban system for continuous improvement and sustainable customer satisfaction</li><li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent;">To manage dependencies across multiple Kanban systems</li><li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent;">The fundamental Kanban metrics to utilise them to make informed decisions</li><li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent;">Tools for balancing demand and capacity, including managing variability, improving flow, and shaping demand.</li><li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent;">Introduction to the Kanban Maturity Model (KMM)</li></ul><p style="margin-bottom: 0px; background: transparent; color: rgb(24, 24, 24); font-family: avenir-lt-w01_35-light1475496, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; min-height: 1.5em;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0px; background: transparent; color: rgb(24, 24, 24); font-family: avenir-lt-w01_35-light1475496, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; min-height: 1.5em;"><strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent;">Is this course for you?&nbsp;</strong></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0px; background: transparent; color: rgb(24, 24, 24); font-family: avenir-lt-w01_35-light1475496, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; min-height: 1.5em;">Are you currently using a Kanban system, have prior experience with Kanban, or are currently in the KMP training series and wish to expand your knowledge on scaling Kanban and deepening your knowledge on how to catalyse true improvement?
