Udemy - Agile Kanban: Kanban for Software Development Teams

Description

Kanban is not a software development lifecycle methodology or an approach to project management.

It requires that some process is already in place so that Kanban can be applied to

incrementally change the underlying process.

—David Anderson, Kanban

A Kanban board is an agile project management tool designed to help visualize work, limit work-in-progress, and maximize efficiency (or flow).

It can help both agile and DevOps teams establish order in their daily work. Kanban boards use cards, columns, and continuous improvement to help technology and service teams commit to the right amount of work, and get it done!

This course will help you explore how working on an Agile project using Kanban has benefits for your development team, your end users, and your organization as a whole.
