Kanban Systems Improvement

As this class is a “next step” in the Kanban learning roadmap and uses concepts thought in the previous course (like the STATIK approach) this is required that all visitors had previously visited KU class “Kanban System Design” or KMP1.

Knowledge obtained over the 2 courses is enough to build the system of value delivery based on the Kanban method in your organization. For this reason, participants receive Kanban Management Professional status from Kanban University.

Training is particularly suitable for those who:

• wants to understand deeper concepts behind the Kanban method;
• are going to implement Kanban in their work environment and are going to deal with potential resistance;
• work more on the "Discovery" side, rather than the "Delivery" side, and wants to understand more about product management in Kanban.

Besides that, training helps synchronize understanding of Kanban for all participants and introduces a common "language" of terms – equally understand the terms, practices, and, most importantly, the purpose of process improvement using Kanban systems.

• Overview of the Kanban method
  • History, principles, values
• Internal and external sources of variability and dissatisfaction with the process
• Analysis between the system’s demand and capacity
• Risk management with Kanban: Classes of Service
• Kanban system design
  • Ticket design
  • Kanban boards design
  • Limiting work in progress (WIP)
  • Making policies explicit
• Queues, flow control, metrics, measurements
  • Little's Law
  • Cumulative Flow Diagram
  • Lead time distribution chart
  • Control chart
• Meetings in Kanban

• High-quality training from the leading education provider in the Kanban space
  
• Training materials
• Certificate of completion from the Kanban University

• 16 SEU (Scrum education unit) for your CSP certification from Scrum Alliance
• 16 PDU for PMI members (that could be used for prolongation of PMP and PMI-ACP certifications)
• Ability and knowledge to change your organization
• After the class support: 10 nano-coaching sessions (10 minutes per session) to address challenges associated with the implementation of the Kanban method

Yuri Talyzin, Project Manager:

“About KMP training (Kanban System Design, Kanban Management Professional Classes, 4 days). That was most useful training which I attended. High density program, high utility, many tasty features, the highest professionalism of the training, precise and detailed answers to the questions. The training exceeded my expectations although it happens very seldom.

Organization of the event (coffee, lunches etc.) was also nice. I haven’t regretted about any hour spent. This is the course that has really brought tangible benefit. Thank you, Kirill!”

Kate Sushkova, ScrumMaster:

“I attended 2 classes Kirill leaded - KMP I and KMP II. I definitely recommend those classes and Kirill personally as a coach. Kirill takes a scientific approach when describing concepts, he does this through real coaching, asking lots of questions. I would also note he is a highly educated and experienced person, there were no question we didn't get a wise answer for. From now I am interested in other classes he is going to lead, not just kanban.”

Sergey Prodanov, Agile Project Manager:

“I was lucky to attend a Kanban Management Professional courses where Kirill was a coach. That was a perfect combination of intense training course and very experienced coach.

Kirill can answer any question with practical example and detailed explanation. Also Kirill has unique ability to create an informal atmosphere explaining such a difficult and complex topics as analytics and metrics. That allowed me to absorb all that information in very easy and fast way.

I can definitely recommend Kirill as Agile and Kanban coach.”
