kanban board

A visual board that shows current work and its status so the team can see bottlenecks and overloading and improve the flow of work; often compared to a task board.

Key Points

  • Displays work items across columns such as To Do, In Progress, Review, and Done.
  • Makes work in progress and queues visible so bottlenecks and overcommitment can be detected early.
  • Often uses pull and WIP limits to manage flow and reduce multitasking.
  • May be physical (cards on a wall) or digital, and is updated continuously by the team.

Example

A software team tracks user stories on a board. The Testing column starts piling up, signaling a bottleneck. The team pauses new development, swarms on testing, and sets a WIP limit for Testing to prevent recurrence.

Advanced Project Management — Measuring Project Performance

Move beyond guesswork and status reporting. This course helps you measure real progress, spot problems early, and make confident decisions using proven project performance techniques. If you manage complex projects and want clearer visibility and control, this course is built for you.

This is not abstract theory. You’ll work step by step through Earned Value Management (EVM), learning how cost, schedule, and scope come together to show true performance. You’ll build a solid foundation in EVM concepts, understand why formulas work, and learn how performance data actually supports leadership decisions.

You’ll master Work Breakdown Structures (WBS), control accounts, and budget baselines, then apply core EVM metrics like EAC, TCPI, and variance analysis. Through a detailed real-world example, you’ll forecast outcomes, analyze trends, and understand contingencies and management reserves with confidence.

Learn how experienced project managers monitor performance, communicate results clearly, and take corrective action before projects slip. With practical exercises and hands-on analysis, you’ll be ready to apply EVM immediately. Enroll now and start managing performance with clarity and control.
