Okaloa FlowLab: How work works
Overloaded team? Slow delivery? Lots of rework, quality not as it should be? Nagging stakeholders? Wondering if a different way of working might be beneficial to your team? You might want to learn how Flow can help you!
During this 5-hour training, you will be immersed in the world of Okaloa Flowlab, an experiential learning workshop designed to make teams understand how Flow can impact their speed and quality of delivery, thus creating happier teams serving happier customers. We will be using Kanban techniques, Systems Theory, Queueing Theory and Little’s Law to gather new insights in our daily work. Bring an open mind for having a meaningful conversation with your peers, plus a calculator as we will be using lots of metrics to get our message across! ;-)
For an even more meaningful conversation, and considerably bigger impact, bring your main stakeholders (manager, PO, customer, project manager) along…
Training takes place at Wemanity's offices or at the customer's premises or at any other location chosen and financed by the customer.
PS: Yes, 5 hours is a lot of time to invest - feedback from past customers has taught us however that it was among the most valuable time investments they made that year.
PPS: the required audience size is 3 to 15 people.
This training is delivered in English.
