About this course
Course overview
Integrate flow. Empower teams. Drive continuous improvement.
The Agile in Lean Manufacturing workshop explores how Agile principles can elevate traditional Lean systems by enhancing flexibility, collaboration, and responsiveness. Over two days, participants learn to integrate frameworks such as Scrum, Kanban, and Scrumban into manufacturing and production environments — creating faster feedback loops, reducing waste, and improving flow across engineering, quality, and operations.
This hands-on course bridges Lean Manufacturing and Agile Delivery, showing how iterative planning, visual management, and empowered teams accelerate performance and drive sustainable improvement. Attendees participate in real-world simulations, including stand-ups, retrospectives, and sprint planning activities adapted for production environments.
