Learn the basic practices of kanban in a gamified context

Continual Improvement is a low risk, high performance, agile strategy for aligning services and goods with customer expectations. But every team has different experiences, skills, needs and motivations. The Continual Improvement Maturity Model helps adapt your improvement initiatives to your distinct needs, motivating team members, improving working conditions and yielding proactive, pragmatic management information.

Many people, when hearing the word “agile”, think it is a method for developing software. But agility is much more basic to the work we do in organizations and can be applied to any domain. A manifesto for managing services with agility describes the six foundations of agility in managing services.

The continual improvement maturity model provides a framework for addressing the issues specific to each team, for motivating team members and for providing management with an objective assessment of the progress being made by the organization.
