Are you in a software development role and find the demands overwhelming and the process chaotic? Are your customers saying your team takes too long to deliver or that they have no idea what your team is busy doing? Do you have a growing backlog with requests months to years old? Are people with critical skills not available when you need them? Do you feel like priorities are changing all the time? On top of your ever-growing delivery workload, are you able to develop the capabilities of your team?   Kanban uses an easy to adopt approach for individuals, teams, and programs to manage and improve the delivery of work (services) to customers. You will learn core concepts and will practice the design of a Kanban system via group exercises, practical examples, and engaging classroom type teaching. You will also learn how to use Kanban to reduce work delivery times, prioritize demand based on team capacity, reduce firefighting and minimize the negative effects of unplanned work. You will also see how within months of using Kanban systems, teams worldwide observe that cycle times, quality, trust with customers and team morale improve significantly.   The course is based on the theory outlined in David Anderson’s book Kanban, Successful Evolutionary Change for Your Technology Business.
