This instructor-led, live training in Latvia (available online or onsite) is designed for non-IT teams and managers at a beginner level who seek to work faster and with greater transparency, without adopting the full Scrum framework.

Upon completing this training, participants will be equipped to:

• Enhance work visibility and manage workload limits.
• Utilize short-cycle planning to adapt to shifting priorities.
• Strengthen collaboration with internal stakeholders.
• Drive continuous improvement through simple team habits.

Participate in this instructor-led live training in Latvia to gain proficiency in Agile project management through Kanban and Jira. Participants will learn to implement Kanban workflows, customize Jira to suit their organization, conduct advanced searches, and produce reports to boost team efficiency.

Kanban serves as a workflow management method.

This instructor-led, live training is conducted online or onsite and caters to participants at both beginner and advanced levels. The insights and tools provided are designed for immediate application in daily tasks to optimize workflow efficiency.

By the conclusion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Increase the number of work items completed per unit of time.
• Shorten the time required to finish work items.
• Enhance work predictability (providing better answers to "When will it be done?").
• Manage flow metrics (throughput, lead time, work in progress, work item age).
• Use flow charts (Cumulative Flow Diagram, Lead Time Histogram, Work Aging Chart).
• Utilize statistical forecasting methods, such as Monte Carlo simulations and Service Level Agreement.
• Design a Kanban System in a methodological way (STATIK).
• Understand Little's Law, which describes the nature of value flow.

This two-day session is crafted to empower teams within an Agile Release Train (ART) to operate effectively in an Agile setting by utilizing frameworks like Scrum, Kanban, and XP. Attendees will learn to act as unified Agile Teams, manage backlogs, and plan and execute iterations with success. The program highlights the importance of understanding the team's place within the ART and how to collaborate, plan, execute, and improve alongside fellow teams.

Additionally, the training readies teams for Program Increment (PI) participation, covering Team-level and Program-level events, with a keen focus on impending PI planning sessions. Finishing the course also ensures participants are ready for the SAFe® Practitioner (SP) certification exam.

Upon completion, participants will be able to:

• Scale Lean and Agile practices across the organization using SAFe principles.
• Comprehend their team's role within the Agile Release Train and its impact on overall objectives.
• Recognize other teams in the train, including their roles and interdependencies.
• Plan and execute iterations with efficiency.
• Showcase delivered value and pursue continuous process improvement.
• Engage in and contribute to Program Increment planning.
• Collaborate and integrate work with other teams within the Agile Release Train.
