IS KANBAN SYSTEM DESIGN THE RIGHT COURSE FOR ME?

If you will be directly involved in designing and managing a Kanban system, you will certainly want to take the Kanban System Design course. You may still want to take the Team Kanban Practitioner course first if you feel that you are very new to Kanban and to Kanban concepts. It really depends on your starting point and goals.

If you currently work with teams that have “plateaued” and aren’t improving, this course will help you to design visualizations that show where improvement opportunities exist.

DURATION

Two day / 16 hour virtual course.

CERTIFIED TRAINING

Participants will receive a certificate of completion for the Kanban System Design course. Students completing this course and the Kanban Systems Improvements course receive the Kanban Management Professional (KMP) credential.
