Get Started With Kanban in 1 Day!
The 10th Principle of the Agile Manifesto states, “The art of maximising the amount of work not done is essential”. If you want to get yourself and/or your team up and running with the most essential elements of Kanban, with the least amount of time and effort, this course is for you!
With first-hand experience of training and coaching 150+ remote global teams to successful outcomes, during the first year of the pandemic, we have seen that Kanban is stealing the march on becoming the preferred approach to delivery with agility.
We have also learned that traditional 2-day Kanban training is less effective for rapid outcomes with Kanban teams than short, highly-focused training, supported by ongoing coaching.
Based upon “Just Enough Learning”, in the fashion of the Toyota Production System’s “just in time” ethos, our Kanban training is broken down into bitesized units, starting with just enough focused training for teams to get up and running with Kanban quickly.
Combine our focused training with your free post-training Agilistix Academy Agile coaching (included with this course) and you are well on the road to delivering more valuable outcomes sooner.
Delivery with agility, when applied to learning, is a smarter way of learning.
Who is it for?
This course is ideal for anyone who wants to gain a foundational understanding of Kanban, with Just Enough Learning to get up and running fast!

Your Graduation
Exams are always optional. We recognise that for many people, the training is more important than a credential or certificate.
Although we recommend taking our courses in the recommended progressive order, starting with the foundational courses, this is not mandatory. Feel free to learn at your own pace and take the courses that suit you.
Certification
However, in order to maintain the highest standards of certification, where a course has an associated exam, it must be taken in the stated order, in conjunction with any mandatory foundational exams.
Exam Rules
It is not possible to skip lower-level exams in order to take higher-level ones.
Please ensure that you purchase and pass the relevant foundational exams (included Witt individual training courses and course bundle deals), before attempting higher level exams. You will not be permitted to take an exam without passing the foundational exams first.
