You are in Good Care...
I recently had the good fortune to attend César Idrovo's Team Kanban Practitioner Workshop. It was eye-opening. I thought I understood Kanban but I learned so much more, especially during the simulation. The day flew by because it was so engaging. I couldn't recommend this workshop enough if you are trying to understand Kanban.

Class was well presented by an excellent, deeply qualified, and easily relatable instructor, Cesar Idrovo, utilized a unique interactive learning environment that really brought home the concepts, and included a truly instructive simulation that revealed deep principles of Kanban. I recommend this class with Cesar to anyone wishing to become familiar with or expand their knowledge of Kanban.

I worked very closely with César as a client on a big, challenging SAFe transformation. It was a great experience, not just learning the “what” but also the “why” and making the needed tweaks as we learned. I would highly recommend learning SAFe from César.

There are very few people I would trust with SAFe, but César has been doing *truly* measurable and meaningful transformation in orgs long before the RUP boys packaged up a bunch of useful practices and drew a “big picture”. And not just stories. I’ve seen it up close in many orgs what he can do.

Thank you, César Idrovo, for the excellent Team Kanban Practitioner course! I went in wanting a refresher/update (having read the "blue book" eons ago), but I learned a lot more!
This instructor-led remote course was very well-designed, interactive, fun, and insightful. César covered most of the learning objectives through a great simulation.
After each "sim day" we were encouraged to discuss, and consider ways to improve our way of delivering. One thing that this activity made repeatedly and painfully apparent (whether it was exposed through simulation design, happenstance, or because this is one of my professional "pet peeves") was that assigning work to individuals is terribly inefficient.
