Kanban – An alternate path to Agility!

Kanban System Design (KMP Foundation 1) Online Certification is offered by Kanban University. This training is ideal for you if you are new Scrum teams who are struggling to reach a sustainable pace of development in the organization or a Scrum team who are overwhelmed by frequent changes in the Sprint scope. This session will help waterfall teams who wish to transition to Agile, but feel Scrum could be too risky, and too disruptive. This course is also for those mature Scrum teams who wish to transition to Continuous Delivery and also for teams who are looking for an “alternative path to agility” in the organization. This program will also help you become faster and more responsive, with better risk management and governance.

We offer a Kanban System Design (KMP Foundation 1) virtual live session. The course is designed specifically for professionals who want to think at a deeper level, beyond just their daily work challenges, to effect a long-term sustainable change. Our online live program would be an enriching experience to ensure that you have knowledge and understanding about how to guide a team in their adoption of Kanban – using the STATIK approach and embrace a service-delivery mindset. You will be required to have approx. 20 hours of self-study for better understanding. It is recommended that one should complete the reading of theory before the session so that they can actively participate in all the activities and conversations.
