Kanban Week 2018: Lean Kanban North America / Kanban Leadership Retreat

This interactive presentation provides a detailed look at how to interpret, thoughtfully observe, and design Kanban Boards to better understand and promote the work of your teams. We will start with an overview of the Kanban Method and then proceed through a series of interactive exercises that give you an opportunity to review and interpret various Kanban boards. After the break, we will move to designing boards for alternative situations. The exercises will increase your understanding of Kanban systems, provide opportunities to practice interpreting various board setups, and give you experience creating designs for a variety of contexts. They will equip you to have more thoughtful and meaningful conversations with your teams about the design of their systems and the flow of their work.

The primary learning outcome is to provide participants practice with designing and interpreting Kanban board configurations so that they can practice thinking critically and thoughtfully, explore how they would use visualization, and ask insightful and meaningful questions.
