Kanban Systems Improvement

COURSE BRIEF

Course Name:   KANBAN SYSTEMS IMPROVEMENT

Duration:           2 Days

Delivery Method: Classroom / Virtual Instructor-Led training

Course Overview

You learned the basics of Kanban and how to design a single system in the Kanban System Design course. The next step on your journey is to learn how to scale out to multiple connected systems. In Kanban Systems Improvement, you will learn how to manage and optimize those systems using metrics and evolutionary change.

In any workflow system there will be sources of delay, variability, and bottlenecks. Learn to proactively discover these challenges and then apply techniques to improve or smooth the flow of work.

Taret Audience

If you have not yet completed Kanban System Design (KSD), we strongly recommend you take KSD prior to taking this course. Many people think they have a good understanding of Kanban and can skip directly to KSI, but that rarely works well in our experience. There are many concepts in the KSD course, such as STATIK, work item type, and classes of service, that students need to understand well to take full advantage of Kanban Systems Improvement. If you have taken KSD and find yourself wondering how to scale, manage or optimize your service delivery, Kanban Systems Improvement is the right course for you.
