Join David J Anderson and Anna Radzikowska, along with moderator Joey Spooner, for your official introduction to Kanban+ at this month’s Kanban University Partner Webinar!

It has been three years since kmm.plus was launched. A lot has changed since then. The KMM Plus team works closely with their users and analyzes their feedback. During this time, it has become obvious that modern realities require more functionality than was originally planned. This means that the time for change has come.

Register today for the webinar to learn:

  • How KMM Plus has evolved from its original idea to its current implementation.
  • Why KMM Plus is becoming Kanban+ and what new functionality it will offer you.
  • What problems Kanban+ will help you solve.
  • What is the roadmap for launching the new platform and what the transition process will look like.
  • Presentation of the beta version and early access.

Do you know how your organization can benefit from OKRA?
No, not the vegetable!

Wednesday, September 28, 2022

11:00 AM PDT • 1:00 PM CDT • 2:00 PM EDT • 7:00 PM BST • 8:00 PM CEST

Register for the Businessmap Webinar

In this Kanban University Partner Webinar, Dimitar Karaivanov, Businessmap Co-founder and CEO, will take you through the foundations of OKRs, also known as Objectives and Key Results. In fact, he will guide you one level higher, and introduce the concept of OKRAs, where “A” stands for ACTION. Even the best OKR strategy is just a set of ideas until it is connected to execution!

Teams can use Kanban boards to visualize work derived from OKRs and, thus, work on their goals without hindering their existing workflow. Tune in to the live webinar to find out how!

What you will gain from this event:

  • An improved understanding of the purpose of OKRAs
  • OKR visualization techniques with Kanban
  • Examples of how teams can align strategic goals with execution, and take action

Are You Ready to Play the Little’s Law Game?

Are You Ready to Play the Little’s Law Game?

Todd Little, Chairman of Kanban University, invites you to his 2022 Kanban Global Summit workshop

Monday, August 22
4:00 PM – 6:00 PM
Kanban Global Summit
San Diego, California, USA

Yes! I Want to Attend the Kanban Global Summit 2022

Little’s Law has been used in queuing theory for over half a century. It is an elegant explanation of the relationship between average throughput, Work in Progress (WIP), and cycle time.

In a stable environment, it gives us a good understanding of the performance of the system which can be used for forecasting. But where are the estimates? Certainly, size must matter. But does it?

In this workshop at the Kanban Global Summit, Todd Little explores Little’s Law through theory and the experience of simulations. Each attendee will come away with a better understanding of Little’s Law and the core assumptions necessary for it to be applicable and useful in forecasting. Through the simulation, you will experience why the estimation of individual items is often not necessary in an environment where Little’s Law applies.

Watch the video above to hear more from Todd Little and why you should attend his session.

Kanban Week 2022 will follow the CDC’s Covid safety guidelines, along with state and local guidelines for California and the city of San Diego, to ensure a safe event for attendees.
