Is Kanban for Design and Innovation the Right Course for Me?

The KDI course will address your pains and problems if:

• You work as BA/PO and don’t feel KSI covers your part of the system fully.
• You want to learn what’s before the commitment point and how to manage this work.
• The upstream work is iterative or takes very long. You cannot visualize it as a pipeline.
• Your backlog is 1,000 items. How should you know what to commit?
• You ask how much time should you spend in upstream decreasing uncertainty? When can you start working on the requests?
• You are product-focused and on the path to be a Kanban Management Professional (KMP).

Objectives

The course follows the official KU Certified Kanban syllabus. During the two days you will have ample opportunities to discuss and experience the following topics:

• Learn how to scale Kanban wider across an enterprise.
• Understand options and how this thinking helps to maximize value.
• Learn techniques and approaches to actively manage incoming work.
• Apply evolutionary change thinking when leading improvement in organizations.
• Engage stakeholders from different organizational levels and departments in idea generation and decision making through pragmatic approaches.
• Establish an Upstream Kanban system.
• Apply Kanban practices upstream in order to establish a balance between the preparation and execution of options.

• Managers and team members who want to get more out of their current Kanban system;
• Product Owners, Business Analysts, anyone in the role of SRM or a Design and Innovation role;
