Lean & Kanban Fundamentals 1-Day Training from FreeStandingAgility.com
This 1-day class is designed to provide you with a rapid foundation in the values, benefits, and practices of Lean and Kanban. After completing this class, you'll have a solid understanding of what "being Lean" or "adopting Kanban" really means and be ready to start a Kaizen culture change in your organization. This workshop is taught using a combination of lecture, exercises, and interactive sessions. If you already do Kanban and need to spin up more teams or on-board new employees quickly, this is the class for you.

Here's a quick list of the topics the class covers:

- Comparing traditional approaches and Lean approaches
- Understanding the values and principles of Lean
- Learning how to map your value stream
- Learning how to create effective Kanban boards
- Learning how to establish a real pull system (and why that is important)
- Understanding and being explicit about cadences
- Working with explicit policies and why they are important
- Learning how to improve through a Kaizen culture
- Understanding how to use the Five Focusing Steps to improve value throughput
- Learning how to use Classes of Service to establish Service Level Agreements
- Understanding how to set effective Work-in-Progress limits and why that is essential

PMI credential holders, can earn 7.5 PDUs for attending this class.

Why a one-day class?

It's simple. The goal is to impart the essentials of Lean and Kanban to each participant in the shortest amount of time using an active classroom with simulations and interactive team learning exercises.

Who should attend?

With rich, useful content, and a single day commitment, the class is great for both individuals and teams. Individuals quickly gain the knowledge they need to broaden their skills and improve their ability to deliver on their project. Who can't spare a day for that?

As for teams, the class delivers even more value by making it easy to jump start a team together so everyone gets on the same page of how to execute honest and authentic Kanban. Compare that to sending a single person to a two-day class for $1,500 and hoping that they'll be able to share what they learned with others.
