Join our next Kanban University Partner Webinar where Joey Spooner from Kanban University and Simon Girvan from Ivar Jacobson International will introduce the new Team Kanban Essence Cards.

Using the international standard, Essence, to describe Team Kanban, Simon and Joey have created a set of cards that help introduce and explain, as well as support, a team’s adoption and experimentation with common Kanban practices.

The webinar will introduce the cards and explain how we created them but more importantly, we will show you ways that you can use them to help with teaching or coaching engagements. You will be able to download the cards to use yourself and sign up for early, beta access to a new tool that provides a digital platform to explore and experiment with a team’s way of working.​
