Kanban Maturity Model
We invite you to the training course "Kanban Maturity Model" (KMM). KMM model appeared as a result of summarizing and structuring the work of multiple Kanban coaches with different organizations. Essence and learning of that work formed a KMM model. It provides you with a structured way to introduce or improve Kanban in an organization. In this class, you are going to learn this structured approach. This course is the official training class of Kanban University, founded by David Anderson – author of the Kanban method. All participants will receive an official internationally recognized certificate of attendance from Kanban University.
This class is a “next step” in the Kanban learning roadmap. It is required that all visitors had Kanban Management Professional (KMP) designation, meaning that they had visited both Kanban System Design (KSD) and Kanban Management Professional (KMP) classes.
Training is particularly suitable for those who:
- want to understand deeper concepts behind the Kanban method;
- are going to implement Kanban in their work environment.
Besides that, training helps build the structure of understanding of Kanban principles and practices for all participants and introduces a common "language" of terms – equally understand the terms, practices, and, most importantly, the purpose of process improvement using Kanban systems.

Yuri Talyzin, Project Manager:
“About KMP training (Kanban System Design, Kanban Management Professional Classes, 4 days). That was most useful training which I attended. High density program, high utility, many tasty features, the highest professionalism of the training, precise and detailed answers to the questions. The training exceeded my expectations although it happens very seldom.
Organization of the event (coffee, lunches etc.) was also nice. I haven’t regretted about any hour spent. This is the course that has really brought tangible benefit. Thank you, Kirill!”
Kate Sushkova, ScrumMaster:
“I attended 2 classes Kirill leaded - KMP I and KMP II. I definitely recommend those classes and Kirill personally as a coach. Kirill takes a scientific approach when describing concepts, he does this through real coaching, asking lots of questions. I would also note he is a highly educated and experienced person, there were no question we didn't get a wise answer for. From now I am interested in other classes he is going to lead, not just kanban.”
Sergey Prodanov, Agile Project Manager:
“I was lucky to attend a Kanban Management Professional courses where Kirill was a coach. That was a perfect combination of intense training course and very experienced coach.
Kirill can answer any question with practical example and detailed explanation. Also Kirill has unique ability to create an informal atmosphere explaining such a difficult and complex topics as analytics and metrics. That allowed me to absorb all that information in very easy and fast way.
I can definitely recommend Kirill as Agile and Kanban coach.”
