Kanban Coaching

We invite you to the training course "Kanban Coaching". This class will help coaches and change agents use the codified Kanban Method Approach to introduce and implement evolutionary change through the KMM model. This course is the official training class of Kanban University, founded by David Anderson – author of the Kanban method. All participants will receive an official internationally recognized certificate of attendance from Kanban University and access to the Kanban Coaching Professional exam, after passing which, they will get a "Kanban Coaching Professional" (KCP) credential*.

Target Audience

This class is a "top of the hill" Kanban learning roadmap. It is required that all visitors had Kanban Management Professional (KMP) designation and also attended Kanban Maturity Model (KMM) course.

Training is particularly suitable for those who:

  • are going to implement Kanban in their work environment;
  • willing to bring their organization to KMM Level 2 or 3.

The format of the ONLINE training

The training course program is expanded by preliminary self-training and "homework." This allows the most efficient use of time in the training sessions for discussions, and individual and group exercises.
This training incorporates many concepts of "training from the back of the room", in which the participants say and do more than the instructor: short blocks of theory alternate with practice and exercises.
The course is delivered ONLINE via a series of modules of 3-4 hours duration each. The two most popular delivery schedules are listed below.

OPTION #1

Week 1
Monday: Module 1
Tuesday: Module 2
Wednesday: Module 3
Thursday: Module 4
Friday: Module 5

OPTION #2

Week 1
Monday: Module 1
Wednesday: Module 2
Friday: Module 3
Week 2
Monday: Module 4

Modules could be held in the first or second half of the day, depending on your preference (and availability, of course). Other schedule formats (than those listed above) are available upon request.

Old fashioned offline (classroom) delivery (2-day class) is possible depending on the epidemiologic situation, regulations, and travel logistics.
