You'll be surprised how much of hidden work your team has! Team Kanban unhides it, gets it organized, relieves people from overburdening, helps your team get it done with quality and pride of workmanship. The 1-day Team Kanban Practitioner (TKP) class teaches you that.

We teach the class with many interactive exercises, games and simulations. We design actual Team Kanban boards in the class. You can take these designs to your office after the class.

Daily Schedule and Syllabus

The day includes four intensive sessions, two before lunch and two after lunch, with proper coffee breaks in between. It takes about eight hours to complete the agenda. Public classes typically run 9 to 5. In private classes, we can shift the eight-hour frame according to your needs. Here's the approximate agenda for each of the four class sessions:

Q1

Introduction to Kanban, core practices and basic concepts

Q2

Team Kanban simulation (different scenarios)

Q3

Board design patterns, design and refine your own

Q4
