Outline

In this course, learners will learn how to apply Kanban to their work. Kanban is a holistic way of thinking about your work and services, with a focus on improvement from the customer’s perspective. The goal of this agile method is to understand and manage risk in the delivery of services, as well as to balance demand and capacity for the team or organization. 

The course is focused on Knowledge Work Kanban which differs from manufacturing in several key ways: 

• workflow is less strict
