Stay Lean with Kanban
Presented by: Doug Rose - via LinkedIn Learning In many ways Kanban is counterintuitive. The system relies on basic rules and practices, but these rules can help you start a large-scale organizational change. The kanban board is a simple diagram that shows the team's workflow. But it can help build cross-functional self-organized teams, encourage better collaboration, and increase your team's productivity. That's why most enterprise agile teams use kanban boards to visualize their work. Kanban is also a key way to introduce lean principles in your organization. Lean can help your teams better prioritize their work and continuously improve by removing the waste or "muda" from your process. In this course, explore essential lean principles and discover how to use a kanban board to help your team prioritize more effectively. Learn about starting enterprise lean, setting up a board, optimizing your flow, and more. |
