<div>Duration: 2 Days</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>This highly interactive 2 day course – Kanban Systems Design (KMP1) - has been created by leading Kanban experts including David J. Anderson. The Kanban Method offers evidence based, pragmatic, actionable, guidance that can be taken away and implemented the next working day. We show you how to introduce Kanban practices in an evolutionary manner in order to reduce resistance to change.
