Core Topics
Kanban as an evolutionary method of change
Dive into the basics of the Kanban method as an evolutionary approach to change. I will show you how Kanban differs from traditional change management and how you can use the Kanban Maturity Model (KMM) to assess and improve the maturity of your company. Using a practical case study, you will learn how to manage resistance to change and apply what you have learned directly to your own company.
Scaling with Kanban
Learn how to effectively scale the Kanban principles to identify and optimize services in your company. We'll start with a brief summary of the Kanban method and then move on to practical exercises in which you identify and define services in your own company. You'll also learn about Upstream Kanban and what roles and responsibilities are necessary to successfully apply Kanban to larger structures.
Feedback Loops
Understand the central role of feedback loops (cadences) in the Kanban system for the continuous improvement and control of services. I will introduce you to the different Kanban cadences and show you, using an example company, how you can design feedback loops depending on the maturity level of your company. In a practical exercise, you will identify and implement the cadences that are right for your organization in order to sustainably improve the development process and service quality.
Improvement techniques
Develop a deep understanding of data-based improvements within a Kanban system. You will learn how to collect and analyze lead time data to identify and eliminate delays in the workflow. With practical exercises, you will work on methods such as value stream mapping and cycle time analysis to identify bottlenecks in your system and develop effective solutions. This will ensure that your Kanban system is continuously improved and delivers optimal performance.
Conclusion and reflection
Finally, we will summarize the most important points of the day. You will have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have and we will discuss how you can implement what you have learned in your company. Finally, we will have a short feedback session to see if everything went well and then we will say goodbye.
