Kanban Techniques for Project Managers
Toyota's innovative techniques for
improving productivity, reducing waste, and increasing quality have
revolutionized the business world. Techniques originated at or inspired
by Toyota such as Just-In-Time (JIT) supply chain management, Total
Quality Management (TQM), Lean Manufacturing, and others have grown to
become best practices for enterprises around the world. One such
technique that is starting to make waves in the project management
community is called "kanban." Kanban is used to manage the flow
of work within a project, to help manage unexpected activities such as
dealing with defects, to identify those on your team who are struggling
with their workload and others who may have idle time, to simplify
financial tracking and forecasting, and much more. It is a simple
process that does not require fancy software tools or extensive training
to implement. Through interactive exercises and case studies, this
workshop will show project managers how they can incorporate kanban
practices into their own projects. Learn to:
- Describe the pros and cons of the kanban technique
- Understand the basic kanban process, step-by-step
- Understand variants for dealing with defects, urgent changes, and more.
