About the Official Course and Credential

Kanban System Design (KSD) is the official course name. It has historically been called KMP I, but KMP is the credential earned after completing an approved two-course path.

KSD is the first course. Complete KSD plus Kanban Systems Improvement for service delivery, or KSD plus Kanban for Design and Innovation for product delivery, to earn the Kanban Management Professional credential.

Participants receive a Kanban System Design certificate of completion from Kanban University.

People who will design, manage, coach, or improve a Kanban system, including managers, delivery professionals, team leads, Scrum Masters, Product Owners, and Agile coaches.

Learning that carries into the workplace

Design a Kanban system people can actually operate

Kanban System Design turns an existing service into an explicit, manageable system. The benefit is not a prettier board; it is a clearer way to understand demand, make commitments and improve flow.

For practitioners

What you can design with more confidence

  • A workflow grounded in real work

    Model customer demand, current states, handoffs and delivery boundaries instead of copying a standard board from another team.

  • Policies that guide everyday choices

    Make replenishment, pull, WIP, classes of service and completion expectations explicit enough for people to use without constant escalation.

  • Forecasts based on service history

    Use lead-time distributions, throughput and service-level expectations to discuss likely outcomes without presenting certainty that the data cannot support.

For service delivery

What becomes clearer across the service

  • Demand and capacity are visible together

    Replenishment decisions can account for work type, risk, available capability and current load before more work enters the system.

  • Commitment has an explicit meaning

    Customers and delivery teams share clearer boundaries for when work is selected, what policies apply and how expectations are communicated.

  • Improvement starts from the current system

    Teams can evolve policies using observed delays and feedback without requiring a disruptive reorganization before learning begins.

Prerequisites

Kanban University expects attendees to have read “Kanban” by David J Anderson or “Kanban from the Inside” by Mike Burrows.

Team Kanban Practitioner can be useful for complete beginners, but it is not a mandatory prerequisite for KSD.

Apply Kanban System Design at Work

Kanban System Design from demand analysis through an explicit pull workflow

Use KSD when a team or service needs a Kanban system designed around its real demand, capability, risks, and current workflow.

Discover before designing

Understand the Service

  • Identify customers and their expectations
  • Study demand, capability, and dissatisfaction
  • Recognize work item types and delivery risks
Workplace outcome

A shared, evidence-based view of the service you need to improve.

Build the right system

Design with STATIK

  • Model the current workflow
  • Define classes of service and explicit policies
  • Choose commitment and delivery points
Workplace outcome

A Kanban system designed for the context rather than copied from a template.

Control work in progress

Create Pull and Flow

  • Set practical WIP limits
  • Establish pull criteria
  • Make blocked and aging work visible
Workplace outcome

Less overburdening and clearer decisions about starting and finishing work.

Improve with evidence

Measure and Evolve

  • Track Lead Time and flow
  • Read Run Charts and Cumulative Flow Diagrams
  • Use feedback loops for collaborative experiments
Workplace outcome

A system that evolves through data and feedback instead of disruptive redesign.

Frequently Asked Questions

KSD is the official course name. “KMP I” is a commonly used legacy label because KSD is the first course on the path to the KMP credential.

No. KMP is awarded after KSD plus either Kanban Systems Improvement or Kanban for Design and Innovation.

Kanban University specifies a two-day in-person course or 16 hours of virtual training.

The official KSD pathway is based on completing certified training; it is not promoted as an exam-based certification.
