KanBan Training in Dusseldorf

This live, instructor-led training in Dusseldorf, offered online or onsite, targets non-IT teams and managers looking to boost efficiency and transparency without adopting a complete Scrum structure.

Key learning outcomes include the ability to:

• Visualize work processes to reduce overload.
• Utilize short planning cycles to adapt to evolving priorities.
• Improve collaboration with internal customers.
• Drive continuous improvement through consistent team habits.

Kanban functions as a workflow management methodology.

Delivered by an instructor in a live format (online or onsite), this training is suitable for participants ranging from beginner to advanced levels. The knowledge and tools provided are designed for immediate application in daily work to enhance workflow efficiency.

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

• Increase the quantity of work items completed per unit of time.
• Shorten the time required to complete work items.
• Improve work predictability, enabling more accurate answers to "When will it be done?".
• Manage flow metrics such as throughput, lead time, work in progress, and work item age.
• Utilize flow charts, including Cumulative Flow Diagrams, Lead Time Histograms, and Work Aging Charts.
• Employ statistical forecasting methods like Monte Carlo simulations and Service Level Agreements.
• Methodologically design a Kanban System (STATIK).
• Understand Little's Law, which defines the nature of value flow.

Scheduled over two days, this program is tailored to assist teams operating within an Agile Release Train (ART) in enhancing their effectiveness in Agile settings through the application of methodologies like Scrum, Kanban, and XP. Attendees will master how to operate as Agile Teams, from backlog creation and management to the precise planning and execution of iterations. Furthermore, the curriculum highlights the importance of recognizing the team’s specific role within the ART and fostering strategies for collaboration, planning, execution, and continuous improvement in synergy with other teams.

The training equips teams for active participation in a Program Increment (PI), addressing both Team-level and Program-level events, with a strong emphasis on forthcoming PI planning activities. Upon completion, attendees are well-prepared for the certification examination required to achieve SAFe® Practitioner (SP) status.

By the conclusion of this course, participants will be equipped to:

• Leverage SAFe principles to extend Lean and Agile practices throughout the organization.
• Gain clarity on their team’s position within the Agile Release Train and its impact on broader goals.
• Identify other teams within the train, along with their distinct roles and mutual dependencies.
• Execute the planning and running of iterations with precision.
• Demonstrate the value delivered while driving ongoing process enhancements.
• Actively participate in and contribute to Program Increment planning.
• Coordinate and align their work with other teams across the Agile Release Train.
