This course Kanban for Agile/Scrum Practitioners will teach you the skills, approaches and techniques that will allow you to take your Kanban abilities to the next level. You will learn first that Kanban is not an individual process, but a practice that represents a principle. It is adaptable and flexible based on the challenges and resources at hand. Next, we'll discuss different ways to transition from waterfall to Agile/Scrum and Kanban. Traditional developers (waterfall) will be shown how Kanban eliminates the cons of waterfall. It improves the efficiency and flexibility in feature development. We also provide the knowledge necessary to assist you in converting from waterfall or traditional application development methods to Kanban. Although Agile/Scrum is a great tool for improving development, you will see how Kanban can help improve product delivery. Kanban and Scrum events will be compared. This will help you understand how Kanban can improve the development workflow and productivity. Next, you will learn how to define your value stream, manage work types, understand what "done", limit work in progress, adapt to variabilities and the benefits of cumulative flow charts. Finally, you will discuss how to forecast future works, deal with blockers, spikes, bottlenecks and other obstacles. The course will also cover how to implement Kanban in your workplace. This includes developing a pilot and applying metrics. It will also provide insight into the challenges that could hinder or impede your adoption and give recommendations on how to overcome them. This course will equip you with the knowledge and skills to create, implement, and deliver high-quality Kanban system designs.
