Kanban Management Professional 1 (KMP1) is a highly interactive two-day course accredited by the Lean Kanban University (LKU). It combines teaching, group discussions and a fully immersive simulation to illustrate how the Kanban Method helps individuals, teams, and organisations to manage and improve the delivery of products and services to their customers.
 
The Kanban Method provides pragmatic, actionable, evidence-based guidance for successful evolutionary change.

This allows organisations to evolve business processes gradually, define and use relevant metrics to measure progress, and significantly reduce the risks associated with complex change programmes.

- Analyse demand vs capability
- Model the knowledge discovery process

- Identify and prioritise improvements
- Choose cadences for activities

This course is created for people who need to combine Agile (notably SCRUM), with Lean and Kanban togather to manage their projects.

It combines the worlds of product design and software design.

This two-day course teaches teams who are part of an Agile Release Train (ART) how to work in an Agile environment using Scrum, Kanban, and XP. The teams will learn how to become Agile Teams, build their backlog, and plan and execute iterations. Agile teams learn about their ART and their role in it, planning, executing, and improving with other teams.

This class prepares teams to run a Program Increment (PI), including all meetings at the Team and Program level with a specific focus on the upcoming PI planning. Attending the class prepares participants to take the exam and become a certified SAFe® Practitioner (SP).

After this course, you should be able to:

• Apply SAFe to scale Lean and Agile development in your enterprise

• Know your team and its role on the Agile Release Train

• Know all other teams on the train, their roles and the dependencies between the teams

• Plan iterations

• Execute iterations, demo value, and improve your process

• Plan Program Increments

• Integrate and work with other teams on the train

Are you struggling with implementing Agile in your organization? Is the change too prescriptive? Are your teams overburdened and less productive but still too resistant for a revolutionary change?

Choose the “Alternative Path to Agility” and implement an evolutionary and humane Change Management Method which doesn’t change your process but improves it.

The Kanban Method provides pragmatic, actionable, evidence-based guidance for successful evolutionary change. It starts with what you do now and respects current roles, responsibilities and job titles. This allows organizations to evolve business processes gradually, define and use relevant metrics to measure progress, and significantly reduce the risk associated with complex change programs.

If your team is overwhelmed, Kanban can help you to get your work under control. Kanban is a new technique for dynamically managing your process and revealing bottlenecks.

This training provides the skills and knowledge you need to apply Kanban in your work and learn how to determine what to work on now, what to leave until later and what to take off the to-do list forever.

Change management is a process that aims to effectively introduce change in an organization to achieve desired goals and adapt to a changing environment. It requires understanding the reasons why change is necessary, identifying areas that require modification and clearly defining the goals and benefits that the change is to bring. Change management is a dynamic process that requires flexibility, openness to feedback and readiness to adapt the strategy depending on people's reactions and changing conditions. It is also crucial to understand that change will not always be easy, so it is important to create a plan that takes into account both organizational goals and the needs of individuals in the change process.

The training allows you to get acquainted in practice with aspects of cooperation with the project environment - stakeholders,
clients, end users in the project.
The training is dedicated to those interested in developing competencies in cooperation with stakeholders - suppliers, partners, internal and external clients, project managers, project and team leaders.
The training consists of a substantive part, workshops, practical examples.
