Common Questions
Straightforward answers to help you decide if this course is right for your team.
Is this just theory or will we get practical tools?
This is a hands-on workshop where you'll build a custom system for your own team, complete with visual boards, flow metrics, and a clear 'battle plan' to stop the firefighting and start delivering faster as soon!
Is this suitable for smaller or growing teams?
Yes. This course is designed specifically for smaller and growing teams who need clarity and better ways of working without adding complexity. The practices are lightweight, practical, and easy to apply — even with limited time and resources.
Will this add bureaucracy and slow us down?
The opposite. We help you eliminate unnecessary steps and make work visible so you move faster, not slower.
How long does it take to see results?
Most teams see improvements in 2-4 weeks. You'll leave Day 2 with a working system and start seeing bottlenecks immediately.
Do we need to hire consultants to implement this?
No. This workshop is designed so you can implement it yourself. You'll walk away with everything you need to run it in-house.
