KANBAN 2-days course delivered by David J. Anderson
ABOUT THE COURSE
This intensive 2-day Kanban training class provides an introduction to Lean, Pull Systems and Kanban and will explain how established industrial engineering theory can apply to software development process. Working in small teams, class attendees will analyze and design a kanban system implementation for a real world scenario.
The course will be taught in English.
