Kanban and Flow Management for Government
A one-day Kanban course for government delivery teams. Learn to measure flow with cycle time and throughput and to forecast delivery from your own data.
About This Course
This one-day course teaches Kanban and flow-based delivery to government teams. By the end of the day you’ll be able to design a Kanban board for your team, read its flow metrics and forecast delivery from your own data, so you no longer have to guess.
It is most useful to teams that have outgrown basic Scrum and to teams that manage several workstreams, service support and BAU alongside project delivery.
What You’ll Learn
By the end of the day you’ll be able to:
- Apply the Kanban principles: visualise work, limit work in progress (WIP) and manage flow
- Design a Kanban board that shows how your team works
- Read the flow metrics: cycle time, throughput and cumulative flow diagrams
- Forecast delivery timelines from your data with Monte Carlo simulation

- Design a Kanban system for your own part of government
