Duration: 1 Hour Credits: 1 PDU Free
Presented by: Net Objectives and the Agilista PM

Kanban is the next generation of Agile methods, built on a lean foundation. This method is now applied to knowledge work such as software development — domains in which “inventory” isn’t visible but its effect is still felt.

If your organization struggles with the inventory of unfinished work, bugs and other quality issues, while you are under pressure to deliver faster and more frequently, you may benefit from applying the Kanban method.

Kanban is based on Lean Product Development flow and provides insights into how to solve many software development challenges while being inclusive of management. It can be implemented at a pace of the development organization’s choosing. making it much more flexible than other agile systems.

Kanban is meant to be adapted to the particular needs of each organization.

One of the advantages of Kanban is that it does not require any organizational changes (structure or roles) in order to start it. It allows companies to start where it might be difficult to start a Scrum team.

This webinar discusses the steps required to get Kanban going in virtually any environment. It also discusses when you should use Kanban versus starting with Scrum
