About the Scrum Better with Kanban Course

Learn the Six General Practices of the Kanban Method

  • Visualise – Show work and its flow.
  • Limit Work in Progress – Stop starting, start finishing!
  • Manage Flow – Identify and manage what is preventing work from flowing.
  • Make policies explicit – Have agreed policies, visible to everyone involved.
  • Establish Feedback loops – At the right cadence to provide guidance.
  • Improve collaboratively, evolve experimentally – Using the scientific method.

 

Learn the Three Change Management Principles

  • Start where you are! (no sweeping overhauls)
  • Agree to pursue evolutionary change, not disruptive change.
  • Acts of leadership at all levels, not just from the top.

 

What You Will Leave With

  • Learn how to identify and analyse the challenges in and around your Scrum and how to prepare solutions to address these challenges.
  • Identify and develop solutions to the variability that is delaying or slowing down your work.
  • Develop and test potential solutions to problems that reflect the principles and practices of the Kanban Method, all while maintaining Scrum.

This course is for anyone, not only scrum teams. Whether you’re a project manager, team lead, or individual contributor, Scrum Better with Kanban gives you practical tools to bring Kanban’s evolutionary approach to improving your Scrum using Kanban practices. You’ll learn how to boost predictability, increase transparency, sharpen focus, strengthen feedback loops, and reduce risk, no matter your role or team structure.
