Kanban — Flow, Visualise, Improve

Kanban done properly: make work visible, limit WIP, and let flow metrics guide improvement. Cadences that turn boards into delivery engines.

3 hours 6 modules

The framework

Kanban (Visualise→Limit WIP→Manage Flow→Make Policies Explicit→Improve)

Kanban's five core practices build on each other: Visualise the work and workflow; Limit Work-in-Progress to reduce multitasking and expose bottlenecks; Manage Flow by tracking cycle time and throughput; Make Policies Explicit so the team operates consistently; Improve Collaboratively using data.

About this course

Kanban is the most practical framework for teams that cannot do fixed sprints. Learn to design a Kanban board that improves flow, set WIP limits that reduce multitasking, and use metrics like cycle time and throughput to make data-driven decisions.

The project: Design a Kanban System

Design a complete Kanban system for a provided team scenario (a 5-person support team handling 3 types of requests). Define the board columns, WIP limits, policies, and the metrics you will track to measure improvement.
