Is Kanban for Design and Innovation the Right Course for Me?

The KDI course will address your pains and problems if:

• You work as BA/PO and don’t feel KSI covers your part of the system fully.
• You want to learn what’s before the commitment point and how to manage this work.
• The upstream work is iterative or takes very long. You cannot visualize it as a pipeline.
• Your backlog is 1,000 items. How should you know what to commit?
• You ask how much time should you spend in upstream decreasing uncertainty? When can you start working on the requests?
• You are product-focused and on the path to be a Kanban Management Professional (KMP).

The course follows the official KU Certified Kanban syllabus. During the two days you will have ample opportunities to discuss and experience the following topics:

• Apply evolutionary change thinking when leading improvement in organizations.
• Engage stakeholders from different organizational levels and departments in idea generation and decision making through pragmatic approaches.
