Learn Kanban as an evolutionary method that starts with the work you already do — visualise it, limit work in progress, and manage flow. Build your team's first real board from its actual workflow states and use flow metrics to expose bottlenecks and deliver more predictably.

Why IT work stalls — invisible work and too much WIP — free to watch, no account needed.
What you'll learn
- Explain Kanban as an evolutionary method that starts with the current process rather than prescribing roles and events
- Apply the core practices — visualise the work, limit work in progress, and manage flow — to an IT team's existing workflow
- Build a first Kanban board directly from a team's real workflow states instead of copying a generic template
- Use flow metrics — cycle time, lead time and throughput — to find bottlenecks and forecast delivery
- Produce a one-page First Kanban Board Template your team can start using immediately
