Kanban System Improvement (KMP 2)

Course Details

​​This course concentrates on the complex demands of a multi-teamed organisation and explores how to maintain momentum beyond initial improvements realised from a successful Kanban implementation.

You will learn how to extend your previous knowledge established during the Kanban System Design (KMP 1) course. You will explore the roll-out and daily operation of a Kanban system. You will consider what type of Kanban initiative is most appropriate for your organisation and how to manage and evolve it effectively 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.

​

This is training for advanced practitioners who are currently using a Kanban system and wish to develop further.

​

The key topics covered in this course include:

​

• Basics of evolutionary change and why it is the preferred, humane approach
• Kanban cadences, important feedback loops to grow, evolve and improve Kanban systems
• Learn techniques to provide effective forecasting and expectation management
• Effective techniques to manage priority decisions
• How to use Kanban systems effectively at different levels of the organisation

​

This class is delivered using techniques from Accelerated Learning and Training for the Back of the Room, which maximises the retention of the participants. This training is not a lecture format, where a teacher talks and participants listen. It is a fully immersive and interactive 2-day learning experience.
