Kanban from Zero to Flow
For anyone starting with Kanban, or already running a board without being able to say whether it is working. No prior knowledge and no tool required.
Guided journeys
Learning paths
Instead of scattered experiences, a path. Each one takes you from concept to practice, with saved progress and a certificate at the end.
Available paths
🌊 Beginner
Kanban from Zero to Flow
The foundation: visualize, limit work, and see flow through metrics.

Bottlenecks and Priorities
Find where flow stalls, use service classes, and prioritize by cost of delay.

How a path works
No path has a recorded lecture. Every step is something to do, five to eight minutes each.
-
Choose by problem, not by level
The three paths start from different pains: getting started, measuring what already runs, or unclogging what stalled. Begin with the one that describes your week.
-
Go at your own pace
Progress is saved as each step is completed, so you can stop halfway and come back days later without losing anything or starting over.
-
Finish it and take the certificate
Completing every step of a path unlocks a shareable certificate recording what you practiced.
Which path to choose
Each one was built for a different moment in a Kanban practice.
Flow Metrics
For anyone already running a Kanban board who needs to answer “when will it be done?” with something better than an estimate by analogy.
Bottlenecks and Priorities
For anyone living with queues, urgent requests and priorities that change every week, who wants to trade hallway negotiation for explicit policy.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to pay for a path?
No. Paths are free and only ask for an account, which also unlocks the Kanban Game, the experiences and the community.
Do I have to follow the steps in order?
The order is recommended because each step assumes the previous one, but nothing stops you skipping. Progress counts a completed step regardless of sequence.
How long does it take?
Between 25 and 35 minutes of practice per path, across all steps. Since progress is saved, most people do it across two or three sittings.
How does the certificate work?
It is released once every step of the path is complete and records what was practiced. It is shareable, and stands as proof of practice rather than an official Kanban certification.
Do I need to know Kanban first?
For "Kanban from Zero to Flow", no. The other two assume you already live with a board and want to measure or unclog the flow.
Does it work outside tech?
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.
Still unsure where to start?
The adherence assessment shows where your team sits in the method and what makes the most difference right now.
