Finding Your Servi​ce Delivery Manager

Finding Your Servi​ce Delivery Manager

Register for KGS22 before the July 15 price change.

The role of the Service Delivery Manager (SDM) is critical to enable higher levels of delivery maturity, and its absence is acknowledged as one of the most common barriers to transitioning to Kanban Maturity Model Level 2. When confronted with identifying this role, most organizations find the conversation really challenging.

In his talk at the Kanban Global Summit, Fernando Cuenca (Principal Consultant at SquirrelNorth) will describe the meaning of the SDM role as defined in Kanban and share stories of real world companies. You’ll return to work able to answer the scary question of “who’s responsible for delivery here?”

Prices go up on Friday, July 15, 2022!

The Kanban Community Returns to Austria!

Kanban Leadership Retreat Recap

Last week, 41 Kanban enthusiasts from around the world were thrilled to gather in person again for the 2022 Kanban Leadership Retreat in Mayrhofen, Austria.

Attendees discussed Upstream STATIK, making Scrum better with Kanban, Kanban beyond IT, Debunking Resistance to Change, and many, many more subjects. We exchanged knowledge, created communities, and shared experiences, food, and drinks. Some folks went climbing, others went biking, and relaxing with a massage was even an option. Best of all, we connected and reconnected.

In other words, KLR in Austria was amazing! See for yourself in our photos below.

We can’t wait to do it again this August at the upcoming U.S. Kanban Leadership Retreat in San Diego, California. Don’t miss out on your opportunity to experience KLR this year.

The weather was beautiful, the mountains were gorgeous, and the welcome at the Europahaus was hospitable as always.

The fridge was still magical, the music embraced the Austrian ambiance perfectly, and the crowd was amazing, of course!

Approved attendees may become AKTs licensed by Kanban University to teach one or more of the KU foundation courses: Team Kanban Practitioner, Kanban System Design, and Kanban Systems Improvement.

If you don’t find a class that fits your availability, please message us at KU@kanban.university. We collect interest and have the ability to build a class into the schedule that may suit your needs.
