Anyone who has attended KSD and wishes to gain the KSI qualification to complete their path to KMP. As well as those wishing to learn how to improve Kanban systems.

Purpose of the course

This is part 2 of a 2-part credential certificate programme for KMP. Building on the Kanban systems you are now able to design, this course delves into the improvement and optimisation of Kanban systems.

You will learn how to

Benefits for you as an individual

Benefits for your organisation

This course concentrates on the complex demands of a multi-teamed organisation and explores how to maintain momentum beyond initial improvements realized from a successful Kanban implementation. For organisations seriously seeking to use Kanban then this course is essential.
