Kanban Method

An Agile approach derived from the original Kanban stock-control system, tailored for managing knowledge work.

Key Points

  • Visualizes work on a board with columns that reflect workflow states.
  • Limits work in progress (WIP) to reduce multitasking and expose bottlenecks.
  • Uses a pull-based system where new work is started only when capacity is available.
  • Optimizes continuous flow and improves using measures like lead time and cycle time.

Example

A software maintenance team manages incoming defects on a Kanban board with columns Backlog, Ready, In Progress, Review, and Done. The team sets WIP limits of 5 for In Progress and 3 for Review. When a developer finishes a task, they pull the next highest-priority item from Ready. The team tracks cycle time weekly and adjusts WIP limits to eliminate bottlenecks in Review.

Advanced Project Management — Measuring Project Performance

Move beyond guesswork and status reporting. This course helps you measure real progress, spot problems early, and make confident decisions using proven project performance techniques. If you manage complex projects and want clearer visibility and control, this course is built for you.

This is not abstract theory. You’ll work step by step through Earned Value Management (EVM), learning how cost, schedule, and scope come together to show true performance. You’ll build a solid foundation in EVM concepts, understand why formulas work, and learn how performance data actually supports leadership decisions.

You’ll master Work Breakdown Structures (WBS), control accounts, and budget baselines, then apply core EVM metrics like EAC, TCPI, and variance analysis. Through a detailed real-world example, you’ll forecast outcomes, analyze trends, and understand contingencies and management reserves with confidence.

Learn how experienced project managers monitor performance, communicate results clearly, and take corrective action before projects slip. With practical exercises and hands-on analysis, you’ll be ready to apply EVM immediately. Enroll now and start managing performance with clarity and control.
