The Kanban Systems Improvement course is the second part of the overall Kanban Management Professional curriculum. This course builds on the foundation of the Kanban System Design course and allows participants to take their usage of Kanban to the next level. It will enable participants to tune Kanban rollout initiatives, enable richer feedback loops, and create Upstream and Customer Kanban implementations. All of this allows for Kanban not just at the team level, but enables the interconnected services that help support your business and get closer to being fit for purpose to meet your customer’s expectations.

This course is run over 4 half-day (morning) sessions so you can gain Kanban knowledge at a pace that's reasonable to allow learning through a virtual medium.

This course is run 100% virtual so you can join from the comfort of your own home!

This course is highly interactive – with games and simulations allowing students to learn through doing as well as drawing upon the experiences of the trainer. Case studies are used to help reinforce learning from previous Kanban implementations. Included in this is:

Dealing with resistance to WIP limits

Understanding asymmetrical commitment

Rollout phases for a Kanban initiative

Developing a service orientation

Managing evolutionary change

Upstream Kanban

Scaling Kanban across an organization

Dealing with sources of variability such as bottlenecks, blockers, and dependencies
