Overview/Description

Explore Kanban strategies for meeting project timelines, core practices used in Kanban, terms and goals that are critical for successful rollout of Kanban for operations, and key elements of Kanban for project management. Discover how to track and forecast projects using Kanban and how Waterfall teams can transition to Kanban. Key concepts in this 18-video course include the history of Kanban and strategies for helping IT operations teams meet project timelines; Kanban elements that are used to manage project execution; and how Kanban enables value stream visualization and ensures stable flow of DevOps practices. You will learn how to create Kanban boards and configure the columns to monitor project work and implement continuous delivery of work; use the Kanban project management approach to demonstrate Agile metrics for optimizing delivery; and configure Kanban boards and visualize the flow of map teams' workflow stages. Then see how to set work-in-progress (WIP) limits to constrain while using Kanban projects; apply Kanban approaches to manage DevOps practices; and learn quality control and continuous improvement processes that are applied in Kanban.
