Kanban Practitioner Coaching
One-on-one coaching on visualizing work, setting WIP limits, and reading flow metrics.
Who This Is For
Individuals who want their Kanban practice to be successful.
Signs You Need This
- You finished a Kanban course, built a board, and now the classroom concepts aren't translating into daily discipline.
- You've got cycle time and throughput numbers sitting in a dashboard and no idea what to do with them in a retro or replenishment meeting.
- You got handed the informal "flow owner" title on your team and want a sounding board that isn't a formal consulting engagement.
How This Works
Cadence
Individual sessions, biweekly or monthly, 30-60 minutes each.
Arc
4 to 8 sessions over 6 to 12 weeks, enough cycles to watch your flow data move and adjust policies based on evidence instead of guesses.
Between sessions
I review your actual board and metrics, not a hypothetical one.
Focus
We work through the six core practices in sequence: visualize the workflow, limit WIP, manage flow, make policies explicit, build feedback loops, improve collaboratively.
What Changes
- Your WIP limits come from your real capacity, not a number you picked because it seemed reasonable.
- You can read your own flow metrics and use them — and I'll steer you away from the common trap of using individual cycle time to monitor people instead of the system.
- Less context-switching, more predictable delivery.
- You can run your own replenishment, delivery, and retro cadences after the engagement ends, without me.
Questions
How is this different from your Kanban System Design consulting?
System Design is me working with your organization to redesign how a team or department's workflow operates. This is coaching aimed at you — your skill, your board, your habits. Different unit of change.
I already took a Kanban class. Why do I need coaching too?
Because workshop skills erode without follow-up. A class gives you the concepts; coaching is what makes them stick under real conditions, with real data, over real weeks.
