Forthcoming Kanban Classes in Europe

I have two 2-day Kanban classes planned in Europe in the 2nd quarter of the year.

The first is in Hamburg on 26th and 27th of April with IT-Agile.

The second will be in Stockholm with Crisp on May 31st - June 1st

All attendees will receive a free copy of my new book, Kanban - sucessful evolutionary change for your technology business and a Ltd WIP Society t-shirt.

The 2-day class is intended for practitioners in the field looking to implement Kanban. The curriculum is based on the text of the book and more or less follows both the flow of the manuscript and covers the material through a series of presentations followed by breakout group exercises focused on a real world situation. Many previous attendees have left the class ready to implement Kanban in their office with their team or organization.
