Kanban System Design (KMP I)

<p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;; font-size: 16px;">Kanban is a management method that improves the provision of all kinds of services (in and outside IT). In the process, improvements are accelerated and the business is continuously developed in small steps to provide the services to the purpose and to be adaptable.</span></p><p style="font-size: 16px; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 16px; padding: 0px; outline: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;; line-height: 1.6; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">As an alternative way to agility or as the next development step for mature agile teams, Kanban is currently receiving a lot of attention and is successfully used in more and more companies. The application is not restricted to software development, it is possible wherever people work jointly.</p><p style="font-size: 16px; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 16px; padding: 0px; outline: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;; line-height: 1.6; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">As a participant, you will learn the basic recipes (principles, practices, values) of the Kanban method. In a simulation, these are then applied and deepened. You will also learn how to best start Kanban with your own organization in a best practice, or to effectively improve existing kanban systems.</p><p style="font-size: 16px; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 16px; padding: 0px; outline: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;; line-height: 1.6; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The course is very interactive with a mixture of simulation, mediation of concepts as well as exercises for reflection and transfer into the own working context. You can design elements of your own kanban system in rough strokes.</p><p style="font-size: 16px; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 16px; padding: 0px; outline: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;; line-height: 1.6; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The Kanban Systems Design [KMP1] lays the foundations of the Kanban method teaching you the principles, practices and processes. This 2-day course is certified by the Kanban University and has been put together by Kanban experts and leaders including David J. Anderson and Mike Burrows.</p><p style="font-size: 16px; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 16px; padding: 0px; outline: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;; line-height: 1.6; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">&nbsp;</p><h3 style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 16px; padding: 0px; outline: 0px; word-wrap: break-word; font-family: Muli, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.313rem; line-height: 2.25rem; color: rgb(60, 66, 79);">Who Will Benefit?</h3><p style="font-size: 16px; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 16px; padding: 0px; outline: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;; line-height: 1.6; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Kanban works across multiple functions of an organization, from senior members of staff looking to adopt Lean Management to members of delivery teams willing to improve their working practices.&nbsp;Previous KMP1 attendees have been in roles such as:</p><ul style="font-size: 16px; box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px; caret-color: rgb(107, 124, 147); color: rgb(107, 124, 147); font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;;"><li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: 0px;">Senior Managers</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: 0px;">Program and Project Managers</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: 0px;">Product Managers, Product Owners and Business Analysts</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: 0px;">Scrum Masters, Team Leads and Change Agents</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: 0px;">Product &amp; Software Developers &amp; Testers</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: 0px;">Agile Coaches &amp; Practitioners (Scrum, XP, DSDM, AgilePM, etc.)</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: 0px;">Other roles such as HR and Finance professionals</li></ul><p style="font-size: 16px; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 16px; padding: 0px; outline: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;; line-height: 1.6; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">&nbsp;</p><h3 style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 16px; padding: 0px; outline: 0px; word-wrap: break-word; font-family: Muli, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.313rem; line-height: 2.25rem; color: rgb(60, 66, 79);">Topics Covered</h3><p style="font-size: 16px; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 16px; padding: 0px; outline: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;; line-height: 1.6; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The course follows the official KU Certified Kanban syllabus.
