Kanban for the benefit of operations - Project management using the Kanban method

Overview

Explore the Kanban strategies for meeting project deadlines, the basic practices used in Kanban, the terms and objectives that are essential for the successful implementation of Kanban for operations, and the key elements of Kanban for project management. Learn how to track and forecast projects using Kanban and how Waterfall teams can move to Kanban. Key concepts in this 18-video course include Kanban history and strategies to help IT operations teams meet project deadlines; the Kanban elements that are used to manage project execution and how Kanban enables the visualization of the value stream and ensures a stable flow of DevOps practices. You will learn how to create Kanban panels and configure columns to monitor project activity and implement continuous work delivery; use the Kanban approach to demonstrate Agile delivery optimization parameters; set up Kanban panels and view the flow of team work stages. You will then learn to set the limits of the ongoing activity (WIP) to restrict it, while using Kanban projects; apply Kanban approaches in managing DevOps practices; and learn the quality control and continuous improvement processes that apply in Kanban.
