About Course

“ Visualize Work. Optimize Flow. Deliver Projects Faster with Kanban, Microsoft Project Planner & Primavera P6″

This course equips project managers, planners, engineers, and team leaders with the knowledge and practical skills to implement Kanban methodology while integrating planning and scheduling using Microsoft Project Planner (MS Project) and Oracle Primavera P6. Participants will learn how to visualize work, optimize workflow, reduce bottlenecks, improve delivery performance, and manage projects using traditional scheduling tools alongside Agile Kanban practices.

 

Course Objectives

By the end of the training, participants will be able to:

  • Understand Agile principles and the Kanban methodology.
  • Design and implement Kanban boards for project execution.
  • Visualize workflow and identify bottlenecks.
  • Apply Work-in-Progress (WIP) limits to improve efficiency.
  • Manage continuous delivery using Kanban practices.
  • Integrate Kanban with Microsoft Project Planner.
  • Link Kanban workflows with Primavera P6 schedules.
  • Monitor project progress using Agile and traditional KPIs.
  • Improve collaboration between planning, engineering, procurement, and construction teams.
  • Optimize project delivery through continuous improvement.
  • Monitor project progress through dashboards and reports.
  • Integrate Scrum practices with enterprise project management tools.

Course Benefits

Participants will gain the ability to:

  • Improved workflow visibility and transparency.
  • Faster task completion through optimized flow.
  • Reduced bottlenecks and work delays.
  • Better resource utilization and workload balancing.
  • Enhanced collaboration across project teams.
  • Seamless integration of Agile practices with Microsoft Project Planner and Primavera P6.
  • Stronger project planning, scheduling, and execution capabilities.
