Duration: 2 days
Description: Did you know that you can achieve 15-40% efficiency gains and cost savings in 4-8 weeks using Lean/Agile? And that most of the time, these gains also lead to generating additional revenue?
Agile methods originated in software development, but Lean/Agile methods are highly applicable outside of an IT context. In this presentation, you will learn about process flows and optimization from a non-IT standpoint that you can apply to
whatever field you’re in. We will explore concepts such as value stream mapping, WIP limits, Kanban boards, and Agile methodologies. You and your team will identify areas and themes of improvement, organize them into themes, visualize the current process, and build a Kanban board to identify opportunities for immediate improvement. You will leave the course with the ability to optimize and improve upon critical processes demonstrated by key metrics. By implementing Lean/Agile training and process improvement, you could increase business efficiency by as much as 15-40% within 4-8 weeks.
Course Objectives: After completing the course, you will be able to
- Optimize workflows for key non-IT processes using value stream mapping (VSM).
- Use Kanban boards to find process bottlenecks, resolve them quickly and improve the flow.
- Start continuous improvement of key processes using Lean/Agile practices.
Who Should Attend: The course is ideal for process owners and leadership team members as well as team members who play a role in a technical, business, or operational process, business analysts, and application architects.
