Team Kanban Workflow Simulation

This simulation facilitates comprehensive and realistic experimental learning among a team of 3-5 participants. The simulation features a simple story of events providing a light and simple context of the simulated environment. The team journey starts with working "business as usual in a push mode" and observing what causes the delays, the high workload, and the consequences of working without clear flow and customer-oriented policies. After a reflection, they define concrete actions and gradually transform to a Kanban team working in a "pull system" with WIP limits and relevant flow-oriented policies. Participants, guided by knowledgeable facilitators, "experience by doing" the critical Kanban practices such as visualization of workflow, the introduction of WIP limits, conducting team Kanban and retrospective meetings, elaboration of policies related to work types and classes of services, interpreting of Cumulative Flow Diagram and Scatterplot Charts, dealing with variability in the context of planning and organizing work and others.
In addition, they experience the change to the habits and behaviors of the team member. Namely, greater collaboration, knowledge sharing, and focus on understanding and meeting the customer expectations.
The team runs the simulation on a fully operational software, the leading Kanban platform Kanbanize. As a result of the simulation, the participants discover how Kanban can support effective workflow management on a team level, and they are curious to learn in-depth Kanban practices.
