Who should attend Pragmatic Kanban Foundation

The Pragmatic Kanban approach is generic and is intended for everyone who works in, or will work in or with, an organization interested in reaping the benefits of using Kanban.
Kanban and the use of visual boards can be seen as a broad and practical introduction into the Agile way of working but it can also be applied to different parts of the organization. It can be used as an addition to the Scrum way of working, and is very familiar in a SAFe context (scaled agile) and/or in DevOps Teams.
Kanban is for you if one or more of the following statements are true:

• The team has more work than time (overloaded)
• It is not always clear who is working on what
• The team always receives feedback late or unpredictably
• A need for more cooperation and knowledge sharing (many islands with a lot of knowledge) exists
• A lot is being worked on, but little is actually being achieved due to constantly changing priorities
• It is unclear which activities are contributing to the organizational goals
• Poorly planned, highly urgent work
• The same team is doing multiple projects with many stakeholders

Parts of the organization that typically implement Kanban practices:

• IT teams who do more than just new product development
• Marketing, HR, Business Operations, Finance, Control, Legal, Sales
• DevOps, IT Operation teams
• Security, Architecture and BI teams (high level of expert knowledge)
