Kanban – Streamline your efforts

As companies work to migrate their software development approach from Waterfall to Agile, they often begin to discover that the limited set of tools offered by the Agile (or Scrum) framework alone do not satisfy organizational needs. Larger projects, more teams, and limited resources are often the hallmark and impetus to implement a Lean development approach where value streams and waste elimination drive the creation of better products, more profitable efforts, and fully utilized resource teams. In this web seminar we will discuss the process, function, and benefits of utilizing Kanban and Lean to streamline your efforts.

A3 Problem-Solving: Part 1 of 2

The A3 is a key component of how Toyota manages its work, develops its leaders, and teaches its workforce to become skilled problem-solvers with the authority to make improvement.

While this disciplined approach generates more effective and sustainable results than traditional problem-solving, it’s arguably the process of developing skilled problem-solvers and coaches that provides the greatest organizational benefits — including the necessary cultural shifts needed to accelerate Lean transformations.

With practice, the organization becomes more responsive, focused, and effective in delivering value to its customers and attracting and retaining talent.

Part 1 of this two-part webinar focuses on the “P” stage of the PDCA (plan-do-check-act) cycle.
