Kanban Coaching Workshop

This 3 day workshop is for experienced Agile or project management coaches, existing Kanban practitioners, and those who have previously taken David J. Anderson's Kanban training class.

This workshop is intended to be an interactive collaborative session designed to facilitate knowledge sharing and learning. The focus will be on shared experience and discussion of the hard questions that clients and team members ask coaches during the introduction of Lean ideas through the use of a kanban pull system. The goal is to enable participants to go back into the field and successfully coach Agile/Lean transitions using the Kanban approach. Each participant will receive a personal recommendation from David J. Anderson as a result of participating in the class.

Kanban offers agile and project management coaches another tool in their toolbox. Kanban is proving to be a facilitator of evolutionary change with low resistance and an enabler of accelerated high levels of organizational maturity.
