Overview
In the Kanban Systems Improvement training, we work on scaling, prioritizing, and forecasting—those themes which need a system that has been in place for a while and has somewhat matured. This training focuses solely on improving your system through the exchange of ideas with other Kanban practitioners. After attending this training, you will uncover the potential still hidden in your system, even if you are currently using Kanban successfully.
Kanban Systems Improvement is training for advanced practitioners who are currently using a Kanban system and wish to develop it further. You will learn about the techniques which can be used to achieve the full potential of your Kanban system.
This course is the second of two courses required to achieve the Kanban Management Professional (KMP) accreditation.
