About the course
What this course covers
Kanban System Design (KSD) is the first of two Kanban University courses leading to the Kanban Management Professional designation. It teaches how to apply the Kanban Method to a service through the Systems Thinking Approach to Introducing Kanban, known as STATIK.
In 16 hours of live sessions you learn the principles and practices of Kanban, then work through STATIK step by step: understanding sources of dissatisfaction, analysing demand and capability, modelling the workflow, defining classes of service and work item types, designing the board and cards, setting WIP limits and defining cadences. The course also introduces the key flow metrics, such as lead time, throughput and cumulative flow diagrams, and shows how to use them to improve the system over time.
Kanban University lists no exam for this credential; you receive your Kanban System Design certification by completing the class with an accredited trainer. KSD is also the required first step before Kanban Systems Improvement (KSI) for the KMP.
