Overview
Do you want to take Kanban further and achieve more?
Take the 2-day Kanban Management Professional (KMP-II) training and learn advanced topics of the Kanban Method, how to manage Kanban day to day, how to harness the power of feedback loops, and how to operate at scale.
Certified by Lean Kanban University (LKU), this 2-day advanced Kanban course (taught in Portuguese or in English) provides the knowledge and skills you need to manage the rollout and daily operations of a Kanban system, and how to improve agility using asymmetrical commitment and cadences.
The KMP-II class is also your step 2 in earning the Kanban Management Professional (KMP) Professional Credential from LKU.
Being a Certified Kanban Management Professional is a reflection of your ability to implement and successfully manage outcomes of the ‘alternative path to agility’: as a KMP, you will be expected to contribute to problem-solving, manage flow, promote collaboration and experimentation, and reduce bottlenecks to help improve organizational agility and deliver superior quality end products and services.
