How does It Work?
Who Should Participate?
The workshop is beneficial for various roles, such as team members, project managers, product owners, developers, and anyone involved in team-related work. No prior Kanban/flow training or experience is required.https://businessmap.io
This hands-on experiential learning simulation uses a team of 3-5 participants. Based on the Mike Burrows Featureban game, the simulation features six rounds of five simulation days each. The team starts with “business as usual” and observes the consequences of working without clear flow and customer focus. After reflection, they define actions and transform into a Kanban team with WIP limits and relevant flow-oriented policies. Participants, guided by facilitators, “experience by doing” critical Kanban practices:
- Visualization of workflow
- Introduction of WIP limits
- Conducting team Kanban and retrospective meetings
- Interpreting Cumulative Flow Diagrams and Scatterplot Charts
- Dealing with variability in work planning and organization
They also experience a change in team member habits and behaviours, including greater collaboration, knowledge sharing, and focus on finishing work.
The team works on Businessmap, the leading workflow management platform. As a result, participants discover how Kanban supports effective workflow management and become curious to learn in-depth Kanban practices.
What is the Simulation Format?
An experienced Kanban professional, coach, or consultant leads the simulation and answers the participants’ questions.
- Three to five participants play as a team online at a specially configured Businessmap instance
- In three hours, the participants play between 20 and 30 simulation days, conducting four to six review meetings.Â
- In three to five extended review meetings, an experienced Kanban coach facilitates in-depth discussions about applying Kanban and workflow practices.Â
