Build Your System
New Mental Models
Many leaders who need to get knowledge-work done are extremely frustrated with their situation. If you answer just one of these questions with a "yes", attending a Kanban Bootcamp might be just what you need to move forward again.
It is clear that much about what we know about getting work done is hopelessly outdated.
Instead, we need to learn modern, more effective ways to reliably deliver in an increasingly uncertain business environment.
Kanban seems like the magic bullet, but almost as soon as you start you will encounter resistance as "this is not how we do things around here", a.k.a organizational inertia.
Truth be told, a management system that has evolved over so many decades will not go without a fight.
To have any chance of success, you need to:
The Kanban Bootcamp has been designed with these outcomes in mind and in just 8 weeks you will have a working system that others notice.
The past 8 weeks have been a journey for us from "... not really convinced that Kanban will be better than what we already have... " to fully embracing this new methodology and even starting to discuss how we can convince other departments to follow us.

Kanban is much more than visualising work! Once you truly understand the depth and breadth of Kanban you'll see many new opportunities to improve flow.
Theory is useless, if you can't apply it to your situation, which is why we will help you build a complete Kanban system, go live with it and show you how to keep evolving.
Discard 20th century management thinking and start seeing all knowledge work as a flow from "customer need" to "needs met". Work will never be the same.
The Kanban Bootcamp is so effective, because it gives you everything you need to implement a fully-functioning, customer-driven Kanban system.
Whereas other Kanban trainings emphasise the theory, we go significantly further by helping you build and go live with a Kanban system that is fit-for-purpose for your needs.
What is super helpful, is that he Bootcamp schedule fits in nicely with other work requirements, which means nothing else has to be put on hold while you build your Kanban system.
Most importantly, however, as we go on this journey together, our promise to you is this: We are there, every step of the way, as you reimagine how work gets done.
One of the most significant shortcomings of conventional Kanban training and coaching offerings is that you still have to figure out how to implement what you have learned using your own Kanban software.
Even worse, not every Kanban tool is equally powerful and sometimes even standard Kanban practices can only be implemented using workarounds.
This is why we have partnered deeply with Kanbanize and standardised on their tool for virtually all the services we provide.
Check the Bootcamp dates and secure your team's attendance as early as possible. Seats are limited and prices increase over time.
Dedicate time every week for watching the videos, doing the homework with your team and attending the online session. About 10 hours per week in total.
Keep up by completing the homework every week. Doing things instead of thinking about them too much is when the real learning happens.
In recent years I've taken many crash courses to keep up with developments in several fields, but I feel particularly proud about completing the Xuviate Kanban Bootcamp. When enrolling I had no idea how deep and wide we would be going. The wealth of knowledge shared was outstanding and the weekly format an excellent choice, contributing to the better understanding of the concepts. I am very grateful to our excellent instructors Mathias Tölken and Mark Geschke for this course. I am also very grateful to my team of classmates, particularly those who put themselves in the weekly hotseat, helping us all uncover more about implementing Kanban in various real business settings.

A Bootcamp takes place over about 8 weeks and requires a weekly time-commitment of about 10 hours per participant.
Self-Paced Training
Each week we will release up to 2 hours of online video lessons to cover basic Kanban theory and provide step-by-step implementation guidance.
Homework with Team
Each week you and your team need to complete the homework exercises and apply what you have learned to build and deploy your new system.
Weekly Online Classes
Once weekly we will meet online for 2 hours to share experiences, complete exercises and together work on the Kanban systems we are building.
The topics for the 8 weekly modules are as follows:
In the introductory module you will get to know your hosts, as well as your fellow attendees. You will also learn what to expect over the Bootcamp and what you need to do to get the most value from it. At the end of the class, you will get your homework for the first full week of the Bootcamp.
The best way to learn is often by just doing it! In this 4 hour long simulation, you will first experience the frustration of having too much work in progress with little getting done before you and your fellow participants will discover how Kanban can help solve even the most difficult challenges.
To visualise your work and workflow(s) is arguably the best known Kanban general practice. The other 5 practices, however, are equally important if you want to get full value from Kanban. In this module you will brush up on theory and lay a solid foundation for the upcoming design work.
Without knowing exactly why you want to change and what you want to change, it is very difficult to find the necessary long-term motivation and take others along on the journey. We will start with STATIK* and find the Sources of Dissatisfaction.
(STATIK = Systems Thinking Approach to Implementing Kanban)
In module 5 you will continue on your STATIK journey by first analysing your current situation before creating a high-level design for your new Kanban system. What work types are there, how does the workflow look and how do you prioritise are just some of the questions you will find answers for.
Kanban teaches us to start with what we do now and to pursue improvement through evolutionary change. To do this, you need to have a live system, which is why the focus now shifts to implementing the design in Kanbanize, getting everybody on board and to start using the new system.
If the Kanban board helps to visualise our work, it is the Kanban cadences and related metrics, that provide the framework for keeping work flowing and also continuously improving the system. The highlight of this module is a flow review meeting.
In this final module the focus is on bringing all the loose ends together. This is not only a chance for your entire team to review Kanban best practices and your own progress, but also an opportunity to position yourselves for the next part of the journey.
Please Note: Since you will build and implement a "real" Kanban system, it is important that all key members of your team are signed up and take part each week.
To keep the remaining members of your team aligned with what is happening during classes, each Bootcamp registration includes 5 complementary licenses for the Kanban Essentials Course.
To facilitate our work together, we will invite you to a private Kanban Bootcamp Workspace on Miro. This Workspace is also used
The Waypoints were brilliant. I was seriously surprised to learn just how much value Kanban can bring to an organisation.

During the Bootcamp I got a clear idea of how to improve our Kanban system step-by-step, I understood where we are in the KMM and also gained a completely new perspective on how to drive continuous improvement.

Breakout sessions and the Lean Coffee were quite impressive and just listening to the discussions was enlightening in many cases.

Are you concerned about team productivity in these uncertain times? What would you gain by slashing your project delivery time by at least half? How much more work could you get done if everybody could just focus for once? Are you again struggling to replace a key resouce who just left?
Failing to implement Kanban properly may already be costing your business a great deal in lost opportunities.

I was surprised by how many new insights I gained even though I have been involved with Kanban for quite some time.
Johan Pretorius
Group IT Leader at Aerosud, SA
The entire bootcamp was an ‘a-ha’ moment for me, as I have identified that we should continuously re-evaluate what we have learned and used in the past, to ultimately unlearn the outdated methods and learn new methods to keep moving forward.
Rusaan van Staden
Talent Acquisition at GWK, SA
Awesome job. I like your teaching style and I like the community-building approach of the Bootcamp.
