Why Integrate Lean with Scrum?
The LEAN4SM workshop is a one-day course designed to dive into the easy-to-apply basic theory and mindset of LEAN. We zoom into the world of LEAN within different work environments and explore how it integrates with the Agile mindset for practical application.
Many Product Owners and Scrum Masters struggle to take full ownership of value or optimize efficiency. The aim of this course is to set a practical fundament of LEAN and help you develop the skill of thinking in value and value streams.
What You Will Learn
This training focuses on the "marriage" of LEAN and Agile integration. The course aims to provide a thorough understanding of the theory, brought to life through practical assignments and facilitated, interactive exercises.
