Even once you’ve been on a Scrum course and run some Sprints with your team, there’s so much more to learn to really become effective in Agile development. The ideas of the Agile Manifesto were inspired by, and built on, many of the concepts of Lean development. Despite the importance of Lean as a background to Agile, few courses explain Lean ideas in depth.

Jay has 20+ years of experience in leading teams from small companies to multinationals and across disciplines including development, product, program management and quality. In this course, Jay looks at Lean development and how Lean approaches can be used to make make you a stronger Agile practitioner.

Jay covers not only the techniques but the mindset. For Lean and Agile to be successful, you need to know not only what processes to follow, but why and how those processes are used.

The course includes:

Visualising the flow of value from development to customers
How to identify unproductive work and reduce it through continuous improvement
Techniques for finding constraints which are blocking effective flow of value
The use of Kanban boards to manage work and to limit Work in Progress
How to identify and use effective Lean metrics

This course is intended for anyone working in an Agile team, especially those looking to increase their understanding beyond the basics of an approach such as Scrum. As well as developers, this may include Product Owners, Business Analysts or Project Managers depending on organisation. But because Agile is very team-centric, every team member needs to understand how to get involved in building and communicating.
