The Kanban Skills You Will Build
Boards, WIP Limits and Flow Metrics
This Kanban training builds practical, hands-on capability across both manufacturing pull systems and Agile knowledge work. By the end of the day you can design and run a Kanban system in your own environment.
Pull Systems and Just-In-Time
You will learn how Kanban replaces push scheduling with pull, so work and materials move only in response to real demand. Understand why overproduction is the worst waste and how the Kanban signal paces the whole system.
Designing Manufacturing Kanban
Design production and withdrawal kanban loops, supermarkets and two-bin systems, and size them correctly using takt time and the kanban quantity formula so inventory stays capped by design.
Building Kanban Boards
Map any workflow onto a Kanban board with columns, swimlanes, classes of service and a clear Definition of Done for knowledge work, IT and service delivery teams.
Setting and Managing WIP Limits
Apply work-in-progress limits to stop starting and start finishing, expose bottlenecks and create a sustainable, pull-based flow of value across every stage.
Measuring Flow with Metrics and CFD
Measure lead time, cycle time and throughput, apply Little's Law, and read a Cumulative Flow Diagram to see exactly where work piles up and how to fix it.
Implementing and Sustaining Kanban
Roll out Kanban using the start-with-what-you-do-now principle, run the Kanban cadences, blend it with Scrum as Scrumban, and keep improving flow over time.
