Ultimately, you\u2019re pursuing Kanban so that you can reduce waste, deliver faster, and align your efforts more closely with the organization\u2019s financial goals.<\/p>\n<p>You want to use Kanban as a tool to better manage the way you work, so that you can work smarter \u2014 and deliver more value with the same amount of effort. This will make your manager\u2019s job easier too \u2014 with greater visibility into your process, and better communication, they\u2019ll be able to give more accurate, more comprehensive reports to their higher-ups.<\/p>\n<p>From a business standpoint, Kanban is a win-win.<\/p>\n<p>So how do you convince them of the business value of Kanban? How do you help them see that by making minor, evolutionary\u00a0<em>process<\/em>\u00a0changes, you\u2019ll be able to increase revenue?<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Managers_Need_Kanban\"><\/span>Why Managers Need Kanban<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>At HUGE I\/O, I teach teams how to unhide work, eliminate chaos, and be more predictable with Kanban. Over and over, I\u2019ve seen teams gain incredible insight into their workflow \u2014 enabling them to deliver faster, collaborate better, and get more done. It\u2019s not hard to convince teams that Kanban will help them be more effective at their jobs.<\/p>\n<p>But managers often require more convincing. In this webinar, I\u2019ll teach you how to make the case for Kanban through the lens of your boss.<\/p>\n<p>To do this, you first need to align around a shared understanding of the problem. Managers often feel as though their teams are a black box: They don\u2019t have the visibility to see, understand, and help solve the problems teams face. When problems arise, or results aren\u2019t delivered, they don\u2019t have a clear understanding of why, or how it could\u2019ve been prevented. This puts them in a tough position with their bosses.<\/p>\n<p>This is why managers need Kanban: Kanban brings visibility to common problems like hidden work, lack of focus, and lack of clarity, allowing teams and their managers to develop stronger working relationships that deliver better results. This makes managers better able to do their jobs \u2014 with fewer meetings, better communication, and closer alignment with business outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>These are ideas your boss will be able to get behind \u2014 you just have to connect the dots for them.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Youll_Learn\"><\/span>What You\u2019ll Learn<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In this webinar, I\u2019ll share my experiences with helping teams communicate the value of Kanban in a way that makes sense to management. I\u2019ll show you how to make a persuasive pitch for Kanban that your leadership can\u2019t refuse.<\/p>\n<p>Watch this webinar recording to learn how to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Present the advantages of Kanban as a low-risk, high-reward approach that increases delivery speed.<\/li>\n<li>Explain the problems that Kanban solves from the perspective of your boss.<\/li>\n<li>Illustrate the financial benefits of limiting work in process.<\/li>\n<li>Leverage team consensus and overcome resistance to change.<\/li>\n<li>Learn the four habits to master to create bigger profits.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"video-thumbnail text-center video-thumbnail-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"vidyard-modal\" href=\"#modal-video-vidyard\" data-uuid=\"Zvp5idmBJ4Uq6oyvgeMStK\" data-toggle=\"modal\" data-target=\"#modal-video-vidyard\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive center-block\" title=\"Video: Planview AgilePlace Webinar - How to Sell Kanban to Your Boss with Brendan Wovchko of HugeiO\" src=\"https:\/\/play.vidyard.com\/Zvp5idmBJ4Uq6oyvgeMStK.jpg\" alt=\"Video: Planview AgilePlace Webinar - How to Sell Kanban to Your Boss with Brendan Wovchko of HugeiO\" \/><i class=\"icon-play-circle-solid\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pitch_Tools\"><\/span>Pitch Tools<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Use this video to get the task of convincing your boss from \u201cDoing\u201d to \u201cDone!<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-thumbnail text-center video-thumbnail-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"vidyard-modal\" href=\"#modal-video-vidyard\" data-uuid=\"1Nbu7QM6BpKH3ExJFhh1ip\" data-toggle=\"modal\" data-target=\"#modal-video-vidyard\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive center-block\" title=\"Video: HugeIO - Improving Process for Bigger Profits with Kanban | Planview AgilePlace Webinar\" src=\"https:\/\/play.vidyard.com\/1Nbu7QM6BpKH3ExJFhh1ip.jpg\" alt=\"Video: HugeIO - Improving Process for Bigger Profits with Kanban | Planview AgilePlace Webinar\" \/><i class=\"icon-play-circle-solid\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>HugeIO \u2013 How to Sell Kanban to Your Boss\u00a0from\u00a0Planview AgilePlace on Vimeo.<\/p>\n<p>View my slide deck\u00a0<a title=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/LeanKit\/how-to-sell-kanban-to-your-boss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-ol-has-click-handler=\"\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Recommended_Resources\"><\/span>Recommended Resources<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To learn more about the benefits of Kanban and how to get started, we recommend these excellent resources:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/info.planview.com\/kanban-roadmap-_ebook_lad_en_reg.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-ol-has-click-handler=\"\">Kanban Roadmap<\/a>\u00a0[ebook]<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/top-5-kanban-books-to-add-to-your-reading-list\/\" data-ol-has-click-handler=\"\">Top 5 Kanban Books to Add to Your Reading List<\/a>\u00a0[blog]<\/li>\n<li><a title=\"\" href=\"\/real-world-kanban\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-ol-has-click-handler=\"\">Real World Kanban<\/a>\u00a0[webinar]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You\u2019ve done your research; you know how visualizing your work with Kanban could help your team work smarter, communicate better, and produce higher quality work.
