Learn by doing

Learn Kanban by practicing Kanban

Each concept is a short experience: you decide, simulate the flow and see the consequence right away. Practice > memorize.

Frequently asked questions

How many experiences are there?

Nine, all available: WIP limits, lead time and cycle time, throughput, bottlenecks, flow efficiency, cumulative flow diagram, classes of service, cost of delay and the flow war room.

How long does each one take?

Between five and seven minutes. They are deliberately short: each covers one concept and shows the consequence of your decision right away.

Do I need an account?

Not to practice. The free account is there to save progress, join the learning paths and show up in your progress page.

Is there a recommended order?

There is, and it lives in the learning paths. If you just want a loose starting point, begin with WIP limits: it is the concept the others depend on.

Does this replace a Kanban course?

No. The experiences teach how each concept behaves, which is the part text explains badly. Organizational context, rollout and facilitation still need a course and practice with people.

Does it work outside software?

It does. Flow concepts apply to any work with queues, deadlines and too much started work. The examples use product teams, but the mechanics are the same.
