COURSE OUTLINE

Key Course Highlights:
  1. Manage Dependencies with Confidence: At a large scale, attempting to eliminate dependencies often results in mediocrity. Instead, learn how to manage dependencies elegantly and effectively through concepts like demand shaping, capacity allocation, advanced classes of service, risk assessment techniques, and a strong triage capability that categorizes work for efficient handling.

  2. Increase Organizational Maturity: Discover the Kanban Maturity Model (KMM) and receive practical, evidence-based guidance that can be directly implemented. This class acts as a bridge to the KMM and a primer for those seeking a coaching career with expertise in KMM.

  3. Introduction to Leadership Maturity: Scaling requires effective delegation, trust-building, and empowering your team. With an introduction to the Leadership Maturity Model, you’ll be equipped to identify leaders within your organization and set them up for success.

  4. Build on Kanban Management Professional Knowledge: This course builds on foundational Kanban practices and applies them in the context of a large network of interdependent Kanban systems.

  5. Pragmatic and Actionable Guidance: Our guidance is pragmatic and actionable, ensuring that you leave with concrete steps to implement immediately. At the end of the course, you’ll be asked, “What will you do differently next Monday?”

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:

  • Move quickly, exhibit agility, exploit opportunities, and show resilience.
  • Improve cooperation and collaboration without expensive reorganization.
  • Effectively manage dependencies with minimal impact on productivity.
  • Achieve an end-to-end workflow that enhances speed and predictability.
