Agile Project Management (Scrum & Kanban)
Break the waterfall mindset · Optimize the flow · Accelerate product delivery
A specialized hands-on training program that helps project directors and senior managers shift to systems thinking, master the Scrum framework and visual Kanban techniques to build a high-capability, self-managing team and speed products to market.
Agile Project Management (Scrum & Kanban)
Are your directors and project managers facing core operational bottlenecks?
Nếu doanh nghiệp đang mắc kẹt ở một trong những điểm dưới đây, đã đến lúc thay đổi cách tư duy.
The stagnation spiral of the Waterfall model
A rigid sequential process leaves projects inflexible, catches critical bugs late in final testing and loses adaptability when customer requirements change.
Constantly over budget & past deadline
Initial requirements are underestimated or vague, leading to wrong time estimates; the team scrambles for a "Big-bang Launch" near the deadline, risking quality drops.
Hidden system bottlenecks
Work jams at a few key people due to overloaded work-in-progress (WIP), but managers lack a visual tool to spot and fix it in time.
A passive team lacking cross-department cohesion
Members chase individual or siloed KPIs, pass the buck and keep waiting for orders instead of solving work independently.
Solution overview
Short iterative cycles that raise perceived value — rolling execution based on visual data
High project-delivery performance doesn't come from a fixed long-term plan on paper. The program sets up a fully hands-on, real-world simulation: the business brings its stuck projects into the training room to restructure the process. Managers are handed the full Agile Framework arsenal (Scrum & Kanban) to break down the Product Backlog, limit WIP and slice the workflow into day-sized units, ensuring a usable Increment after every cycle.
Highlights
Visualize the flow & eliminate hold-ups with Kanban
Master the JIT-standard Signboard system to grid the entire To Do – In Process – Done flow. Understand Little's Law (TP = WIP/CT) to set an accurate WIP Limit, release delays and optimize the whole team's output.
Standardize the 3 vital roles in the Scrum Team
Clarify core responsibilities: the Product Owner owns the "What" (strategic vision, managing a valuable Product Backlog), the Scrum Master owns the "How" (effectively facilitating events), and Developers own the "Result" (a fully cross-functional, self-managing team).
Build an Inspect & Adapt culture
Sync the 4 core ceremonies (Sprint Planning, 15-minute Daily Scrum, Sprint Review, Sprint Retrospective) to shed negative emotional baggage, end the "office Zombie" phenomenon and activate a continuous-learning Growth Mindset in the team.
Who it's for
Boards, Project Directors & PMOultimately responsible for the cross-department strategic project portfolio, needing a shared management language.
Heads of Operations, R&D, Tech, Product, Marketingneeding to restructure team collaboration and shift from "Doer" to "Multiplier" to manage a lean workflow.
Current Scrum Masters & Product Ownerswanting to upgrade facilitation, refine testing templates and standardize skills to lock down complex project goals.
Program framework
A 4-session hands-on journey
- 1
Session 1 — Agile thinking & creating the Project Charter
- Decode the Agile Manifesto (4 values & 12 principles) against Waterfall's weaknesses.
- Practice setting up the Project Charter: lock the scope (Say YES/NO), analyze 3 risk groups (Internal, External, Technology) and sign off SMART information.
- 2
Session 2 — Setting up the Kanban flow & Little's Law
- Map the operating cycle onto a Kanban Board (physical or Jira/Trello).
- Train the technique of setting an optimal WIP Limit to manage flow, remove waste and apply Little's Law to increase system throughput.
- 3
Session 3 — Running the Scrum Framework & Backlog techniques
- Define the 3 roles PO – SM – Dev.
- Practice slicing the Product Backlog into structured User Stories (Who – What – Why) with Acceptance Criteria.
- Set up the Sprint Backlog and break work into subtasks completable in under a day.
- 4
Session 4 — Inspect & Adapt ceremonies
- Simulate a Sprint cycle (1–4 weeks): a 15-minute Daily Scrum reviewing 3 questions
- A Sprint Review demoing the Increment to gather customer feedback
- And a Sprint Retrospective using the Hot-air Balloon/Speed Car format to celebrate small wins and improve the process.
Goals & expected outcomes
Strategy & deliverables
- 01 standard Project Charter: clearly positioning the context, committed goals and a staffing matrix for a real team structure (under 10 people).
