Experience core Kanban techniques and see how to introduce them to others
In this workshop, you will have the possibility to experience how different Kanban techniques can be applied and which impact they have.
We will use specific configurations of the Okaloa Flowlab simulation set which we created for this workshop. You can explore different scenarios and gain a practical understanding of these techniques in order to apply them to your own Kanban systems.
For each of the techniques, we’ll start with a brief intro of the concept, then run a simulation and debrief / reflect.
Techniques covered:
- Replenishment – how to model a system entry and the impact of different replenishment cycles
- Capacity Allocation – allocate system capacities to different categories of work (e.g. Classes of Service or work item types), and measure the input vs. output
- Manage pull across several teams via Capacity Tokens
This workshop is targeted at Kanban beginners as well as medium-level practitioners and coaches.
