Essential Kanban: No Kanban is an Island

So you've created a Kanban board and started to visualize your work and your process. Great! But don't stop there. With sincere apologies to John Donne, no Kanban board is an island! Where did that work come form? An upstream Kanban? And where did it go to? Maybe the end-customer, but maybe an internal downstream process. And those pink stickers appearing on your board representing blockers, or dependencies on other teams, do they show on those teams' boards as work items? Everything is connected!

Get some insight into the wider application of Kanban, how it can spread across organisations, and how the metrics from each system and the Kanban cadences of periodic meeting and reviews, can enable management teams to facilitate flow rather than creating or exacerbating bottlenecks.

The half-hour webinar introduces you to another of the elements of the Kanban Lens, as well as to Kanban's principles and general practices. It will also set you on the road to find out more.

Don't miss it!

Webinar duration: 30 minutes, plus questions and discussion

Additional Information

This series of webinars is a great introduction to Kanban for those new to it, but also a great resource for those familiar with the method, with its straightforward and short descriptions of Kanban's key ideas. Why not invite your colleagues too, perhaps to kick off an informal discussion of how you can use this approach at work?
