Join us for an interactive talk with Dr.Alicia to learn how to use agile methods to transform a chaotic workflow into a streamlined machine!
About this Event

Ever feel like your team is "busy" but nothing is actually getting finished? Join us for an interactive, hands-on workshop where we swap code for crusts and tickets for toppings.

Using the renowned Kanban Pizza Game, we will simulate a fast-paced production environment to explore how lean principles can transform a chaotic workflow into a streamlined machine. This isn't just a game—it’s a low-risk environment to fail fast, learn quickly, and see the immediate impact of process changes.

What we’ll cover:

  • Visualizing the Workflow: Why seeing the work is the first step to managing it.
  • WIP Limits in Action: Experience how "Stop Starting, Start Finishing" actually feels.
  • Managing Bottlenecks: Identify where the "dough" is piling up and how to clear it.
  • Continuous Improvement: Using Kaizen to refine your process between "oven rounds."

Lunch and snacks provided!
