Using Flow and Kanban for Better Testing and Happier Workplace
Jim Benson will lead a $99 one-day seminar on flow systems
and quality control. He will discuss how flow works differently than
iterations or milestones, how to manage chaotic workloads, how to
communicate you or your team's workload to the rest of the organization, the
psychology of kanban / flow, continuous improvement, and social problem
solving techniques. This is a workshop-style seminar, so Jim will work with
participants to use the techniques in the class to come up with real
solutions to real issues being faced. When you leave this class you will
have a list of immediately actionable tasks you can implement.
This is a workshop, not a lecture. Jim Benson does not use
powerpoint, he will not talk at you. This will be a highly interactive and
engaging seminar that will show you how to use Flow and Kanban in your own
context.
Looking forward to seeing you
there. Space is limited.
Lunch will be provided.
