THE BIG PICTURE

About this course

The Adaptive Kanban Framework Certification recognises the ability to design, operate and improve Kanban systems in office-based and remote contexts. It is awarded by APMG International. Over three days learners apply core Kanban concepts to real-world project and operational scenarios. You will map workflows, set explicit policies, tune WIP limits, capture and interpret flow metrics, and explore cadences and scaling patterns. Practical exercises, simulations and guided labs are used throughout. The certification is assessed by an examination set and administered by APMG International or its accredited partners. This course includes guidance on registering for an exam session, exam-day expectations, and targeted practice with feedback. The awarding body owns the certification scheme. MindClick provides training and exam preparation and is not an accredited or authorised partner.

What you’ll learn

Explain the principles and core practices of an adaptive Kanban approach
Design a visual workflow with explicit policies suitable for office and remote teams
Set, inspect and adjust WIP limits to improve flow and predictability
Use cycle time, throughput and WIP age to forecast delivery and manage risk
Apply classes of service, pull scheduling and cadences to balance demand and capacity
Coordinate work across multiple teams using portfolio Kanban patterns
Facilitate continuous improvement using service metrics and experiments
Prepare effectively for the certification exam with sample questions and a full mock exam

A CLEAR PATH FORWARD

3-day Adaptive Kanban Framework Certification agenda

3 days · 24 contact hours · 09:00–17:30

3 instructor-led days (24 contact hours) mapped to the exam domains. Each day combines short concept sessions, hands-on practice on a running case study and exam-style questions.

Learning route: 3 recommended days
Practical work: 3 guided activities
Finish with: Mock exam + certification exam

Day 1Foundations and designing the systemPrinciples, visualisation, policies, WIP and flow basics

What we’ll cover

09:00–10:30 · Course orientation; why adaptive Kanban; overview of syllabus and exam
10:45–12:15 · Visualising work: mapping value streams and board design patterns
13:15–14:30 · Writing explicit policies: definitions of done, entry/exit criteria
14:45–15:45 · Setting WIP and commitment points; balancing demand and capacity
15:45–16:30 · Core flow metrics: cycle time, throughput, WIP age and lead time scatterplots
16:30–17:00 · Exam-style practice questions (Day 1 topics) and debrief
17:00–17:30 · Daily wrap-up: insights, actions and Q&A

Put it into practice

Hands-on lab: map your team’s current workflow to a Kanban board, define explicit policies, and propose initial WIP limits. Pairs review each other’s boards and capture improvement hypotheses.

Day 2Flow management, cadences and scalingPull scheduling, cadences, classes of service, metrics and scaling

What we’ll cover

09:00–09:30 · Day 1 recap and readiness quiz
09:30–10:30 · Pull scheduling and replenishment: commitment, selection and start
10:45–12:15 · Cadences: stand-ups, replenishment, delivery reviews and operations review
13:15–14:30 · Managing blockers, flow debt and service levels; ageing WIP control
14:45–15:45 · Classes of service and prioritisation; portfolio and multi-team Kanban
15:45–16:30 · Exam-style practice questions linked to the syllabus
16:30–17:30 · Workshop debrief: metric interpretation and improvement experiments

Put it into practice

Tabletop flow simulation: run work items through a board using different WIP limits and policies to observe effects on cycle time and throughput. Capture metrics and propose two improvement experiments.

You’ll take away
