You don’t rank or prioritize a large set of choices, instead you filter them. When you have to answer questions like, “What should we start next?” – “Which order must we do things?” – “How many things should we have in progress at the same time?” and “What might be the impact if an item takes longer and is delivered later than we hoped?” …traditional approaches to these questions, are cumbersome, time-consuming and often require large amounts of guessing and use of assumptions, layered upon more assumptions.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0px; background-image: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 0px 1em; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline; text-size-adjust: 100%; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: "Open Sans", Arial, sans-serif;">This class teaches you a <span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; background: 0px 0px; vertical-align: baseline; text-size-adjust: 100%; font-weight: 700;">fast</span>, light-weight and yet <span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; background: 0px 0px; vertical-align: baseline; text-size-adjust: 100%; font-weight: 700;">very powerfu</span>l approach to deciding what do to next, which order to do things, when to start something and how to manage a very large set of choices, using fact-based, filtering techniques similar to those seen on travel booking web sites.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0px; background-image: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 0px 1em; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline; text-size-adjust: 100%; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: "Open Sans", Arial, sans-serif;">The use of <span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; background: 0px 0px; vertical-align: baseline; text-size-adjust: 100%; font-weight: 700;">fact-based risk assessment</span>, <span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; background: 0px 0px; vertical-align: baseline; text-size-adjust: 100%; font-weight: 700;">risk assessment frameworks</span>, <span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; background: 0px 0px; vertical-align: baseline; text-size-adjust: 100%; font-weight: 700;">demand-shaping thresholds</span>, and <span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; background: 0px 0px; vertical-align: baseline; text-size-adjust: 100%; font-weight: 700;">qualitative understanding of cost of delay</span>, will enable faster, better decision making, for scheduling, sequencing and selection of work.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0px; background-image: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 0px 1em; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline; text-size-adjust: 100%; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: "Open Sans", Arial, sans-serif;">If you’ve found yourself, questioning your actions and judgment, in denial of guessing and manipulating your equations in order to get to the right answer, if you’ve often felt like an imposter in your role as a product manager or product owner, if <span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; background: 0px 0px; vertical-align: baseline; text-size-adjust: 100%; font-weight: 700;">“prioritization”</span> is your job, then this class will <span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; background: 0px 0px; vertical-align: baseline; text-size-adjust: 100%; font-weight: 700;">provide answers</span> to questions that have been frustrating you for years.

Offering simple, yet powerful answers, each class gives you new skills and insights with which to address an aspect of Agile adoption that is poorly addressed in conventional literature.</span></p><p>“As a business, we measure the wrong things and our culture isn’t suitable for Agile adoption, how can we fix it?”<br>“We struggle to write small, fine-grained requirements, can you help us get better at it?”<br>“Prioritization is painful, time-consuming and stressful. We have a huge backlog. Can you help us get better at prioritizing?”<br>“We struggle to scale Agile because of dependencies. How can we identify them earlier and manage our capacity better? Dependency management feels like ‘Big Planning Up-front’”<br>“We aren’t good at estimating; can you help us get better at it?”</p><p>Are these familiar problems to you? Do you find your Agile advisors lay the blame with you? If only you followed established guidance better, harder, with greater diligence and intensity, then all would be well? The answers to these challenges always seem to be more elaborate, detailed, intense, and frustrating – big expensive meetings, more and more collaborators to coordinate, more detail, more complicated equations, more-and-more time: it all feels like you are going backwards, further and further from true agility.</p><p>For years, Kanban University has had truly elegant solutions to these problems, but they haven’t been easily accessible – buried inside our Enterprise Services Planning (ESP) 5-day training. Now, we are making these Agile Pain Point Solutions (APPS) available in easy to consume 1-day classes, specifically to address the problems and challenges our customers have been reporting to us for a decade. If you are a product owner, or involved in Agile planning for your organization, then the Kanban APPS series will give you the skills to be successful and to deliver true organizational agility.</p><h2>Choose from:</h2><ul><li><h2><span style="font-size: 26px;"><strong><span class="TextRun SCXW169297146 BCX0" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-US" xml:lang="EN-US"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW169297146 BCX0">Day 1 - Better KPIs – Metrics for Meaningful Organizational Behavior</span></span><span class="EOP SCXW169297146 BCX0" data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559738":240,"335559739":0,"335559740":259}"> </span></strong></span></h2></li></ul><h2 aria-level="2"><span data-contrast="none"> Applying the Fit-for-Purpose Framework to drive congruent action at all levels</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559738":40,"335559739":0,"335559740":259}"> </span></h2><h3 aria-level="2"><span data-contrast="none"> Learn how to define better OKRs: Build better Balanced Scorecards</span><span data-contrast="none">: Drive desirable change</span></h3><ul><li><strong style="font-size: 26px;">Day 2 - Clear Product Requirements</strong></li><li><h2 aria-level="2"><span data-contrast="none"> U</span><span data-contrast="none">sing the Fit-for-Purpose Framework</span><span data-contrast="none">, archetypes & </span><span data-contrast="none">the universal feature template</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559738":40,"335559739":0,"335559740":259}"> </span></h2></li></ul><p><span style="font-size: 26px;"><strong><span class="TextRun SCXW3759142 BCX0" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-US" xml:lang="EN-US"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW3759142 BCX0">Day 3 - Managing Large Backlogs</span></span><span class="EOP SCXW3759142 BCX0" data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559738":240,"335559739":0,"335559740":259}"> </span></strong></span></p><h2><span class="TextRun SCXW34846956 BCX0" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-US" xml:lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: 26px;"> </span>Scheduling, Sequencing, & Selection using risk assessment frameworks and cost of delay analysis</span></h2><ul><li><h4> Learn to prioritize better and faster.
