What’s YOUR Kanban Story?

“More than 5 years ago I started my journey in the world of agility, and 4 years ago I decided to delve into the methods and approaches that really help to understand the context and needs of each organization to provide guidance and support to the teams more appropriate and effective (you know, One-size fits NONE). So I decided to learn the Kanban Method because of what this approach offers (and much more).”

It is now translated into German by Wolfgang Wiedenroth (Kanban University Distinguished Fellow, Accredited Kanban Consultant, Accredited Kanban Trainer, and Agile Coach at IT-Agile) who will also appear live on stage.
