Don't miss! David J Anderson's A Kanban System for Software Engineering Workshop

Kanban is a new lightweight approach to software development that transfers principles from the Lean Production/Toyota-Production-System to the software development. In this context, two rules are defined:

1. Each process takes work from the previous process (pull principle) in order to avoid overloading.
2. Work in progress is restricted so that no expensive stocks accumulate.

This intensive 2-day Kanban workshop with David J Anderson provides an introduction to Lean, Pull Systems and Kanban and will explain how established industrial engineering theory can apply to software development process.

You will learn how Kanban can be introduced with relatively little effort into existing software development environments and how it works with a strong division of labour. Upon completion of this Kanban workshop, you'll understand how Kanban delivers an useful perspective to consider the entire value chain beyond the pure software development.

WHEN & WHERE The Kanban Workshop will be taught by David J Anderson at Skills Matter - London, on Oct 1-2nd at Skills Matter in London
