Professional Kanban Trainer for Applying Professional Kanban

The Scrum Guide only contains the minimum necessary to create an empirical process control system for managing risk. The new Kanban Guide reflects the minimum that you need to do to create a strategy for optimizing the flow of value through a visual, pull-based system.

With the integration of the Kanban Guide for Scrum Teams into the world of Scrum .org, I had been waiting for Daniel Vacanti and co to release more around Professional Kanban . It was my very first thought when I attended the beta teach of the Professional Scrum with Kanban training in Burlington, Masatusis in January 2018.

I did not have to wait long.

Daniel has founded ProKanban.org and collaborated to create, under creative commons, the Kanban Guide . This guide is freely available on kanbanguides.org and starts a new era of openness and respect between the Scrum & Kanban communities.

As part of this, I have become the 20th Professional Kanban Trainer at ProKanban.org and I am now able to teach the Applying Professional Kanban training class.

Study Guide for Professional Kanban I Assessment

You don’t have to take the Applying Professional Kanban training to take the assessment. They are decoupled and they have an excellent Kanban Learning Resources page that will help you get started. I have forked that resource and will be adding some of my own items on the Study Guide for Professional Kanban .
