Training with us is for people who need their teams and organizations to work differently today, not someday. Our classes are built so you use what you learn immediately in live work: real boards, real initiatives, real constraints in your product, service, or project environment.

As the creators of Personal Kanban, we’ve seen these practices help teams ship products on time, coordinate complex stakeholder groups, stabilize service delivery, and reduce burnout in high‑stakes roles. Personal Kanban is “personal” because work is done by humans, but the systems scale from one person to cross‑functional portfolios without collapsing into bureaucracy.

Our training is unapologetically practical and humane: you see the actual flow of work, limit overload at team and portfolio levels, and leave with visual practices that reduce anxiety, improve predictability, and have people saying this isn’t a lighter substitute for “real Agile” but the missing structure that finally makes their work make sense.
