People want to know more about Kanban Project, Program and Portfolio Management but do not have time to spend 16 hours straight (or more!) in a classroom. If that's your situation, this rolling mentoring program could be for you. You can join anytime and gain certification as needed as it is rolling.

The certification program can be completed in as little as 4 weeks or up to 6 months—you decide, working at your own sustainable pace. You're in control!

By being empowered to learn in your way and during your work as a Kanban practitioner, you can enjoy the freedom of getting certified when it's convenient and works for you.

When do we meet?

We meet every two weeks on Wednesdays between 5 pm and 6 pm UK time. Between sessions, the group uses online chat to stay focused and often arranges additional sessions with each other to accelerate their certification.

Learn by Doing!

Our program focuses on experiential learning, allowing you to apply new techniques and strategies directly in your work environment.

Regular mentoring sessions with experienced industry experts provide actionable insights, ensuring you gain practical, real-world knowledge.

All our educators coach in the field more than they train. We are on the journey with you.

Validation

During your first mentoring session, we will discuss the required self-learning log, review expectations and agree on what outcomes you desire from gaining the certification.

You can then attend a combination of community events, peer events, workshops, conferences, and mentoring sessions while working individually to complete the validation log (a brief record of your learnings). We will provide the template log (small file) for you.

Once the self-learning log is complete and checked by a peer, we will spend some time with you, reflecting on the difference the program has made to you. We will do this by reflecting on the updated agile coaching growth wheel and the agreed outcomes.

You MUST attend at least FOUR mentoring sessions and ONE 1-to-1 coaching session to validate your competency against the program learning objectives.
