Applying Scaled Portofolio Kanban (ASPK) with Alex Priestley

APPLYING SCALED PORTOFOLIO KANBAN (SPK)

“What are our teams working on?”, “How well does our execution match up with our stated strategy?” and “Are we as an organisation efficient, effective and predictable?”. Leaders across most organisations want to know the answers to these questions.

This workshop is for anyone who has asked these questions or wants to help find the answer to these questions.

Payment, fees & cancellation

       * Payment in advance is required; there are no exceptions. For example, all documentation requirements for invoice payment by the training date must be declared immediately. 

        * You may cancel up to the specified online ticketing deadline, and if so, depending on the payment engine/approach, the refund could have deductions for bank transfer fees.

        * You may postpone your ticket with a minimum of three business days' notice; thereafter, your lack of attendance at the booked date will be treated as a cancellation with zero refund (due to planning & venue costs for class numbers). Best efforts will be made to fit you into a later workshop. A postponement rescinds your notice period for a refund.
