Kanban System Design

<p><strong>Description</strong></p><p>The Kanban System Design training class explores the foundations, the practices and principles of the Kanban Method through experimentation, case studies and experience sharing between participants. It will allow participants to understand, model and improve their own Kanban system by observing their context.</p><p align="center"><strong><em>«&nbsp;Much more than a delivery method, the Kanban method allows us to look at our own context through a completely different lens.&nbsp;»</em></strong></p><p>Kanban is a management method that leverages continuous and evolutionary improvements adapted to your context. The intention is to reduce resistance to change to a minimum. Contrary to other approaches, the Kanban Method is at the service of your context, and not the other way around.</p><p><strong>Learning outcomes</strong></p><ul style="margin-left: 40px;"><li>Explain the foundations, the motivations and the benefits of the Kanban Method.</li><li>Explain what the service-oriented approach is.</li><li>Apply the principles and practices of Kanban by levering the service-oriented approach.</li><li>Explain the fundamental concept of&nbsp;<em>Pull</em>&nbsp;and its effects.</li><li>Apply the STATIK method to model a Kanban system.</li><li>Apply the information that emerges from STATIK and appropriate patterns to create a Kanban board that represents the workflow, work item types, classes of service and any other relevant information.</li><li>Name and understand the basic Kanban metrics.</li></ul><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Training plan</strong></p><ol><li><strong>Experience flow</strong><ul style="margin-left: 40px;"><li>Introduction to the training class</li><li>Overview of the Kanban Method</li><li>Advanced simulation</li></ul></li></ol><p>&nbsp;</p><ol><li value="2"><strong>The Kanban Method</strong><ul style="margin-left: 40px;"><li>The foundations of the Kanban Method</li><li>Kanban principles</li><li>Kanban practices</li></ul></li></ol><p>&nbsp;</p><ol><li value="3"><strong>The STATIK approach</strong><ul style="margin-left: 40px;"><li>Introduction to the XIT case study</li><li>STATIK Steps (XIT examples and exercises)</li></ul></li></ol><p>&nbsp;</p><ol><li value="4"><strong>Designing a Kanban system</strong><ul style="margin-left: 40px;"><li>Elements of Kanban systems</li><li>Patterns of board and ticket design</li><li>Board examples</li><li>Closing exercise&nbsp;: System design</li></ul></li></ol>
