| Biggest accreditation body for Kanban certifications |
Kanbanstudy™ has emerged as a leading accreditation body for Kanban certifications. With the largest Authorized Training Partner (A.T.P.) network—comprising over 2,000 partners across more than 115 countries—Kanbanstudy™ continues to set the standard for excellence in Kanban training. This global reach ensures that professionals worldwide have access to top-tier certification programs that enhance their expertise in Kanban frameworks. |
Other Kanban accreditation bodies are smaller and do not match Kanbanstudy™'s scale and reach. |
| Based on the Official Kanban Body of Knowledge (KBOK™ Guide) - Available in 6 Languages (English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Italian, and French) |
All Kanbanstudy™ exams are based on the Official Kanban Body of Knowledge (KBOK™ Guide) developed by Kanbanstudy™. This comprehensive and authoritative guide, endorsed by Kanban experts, serves as the definitive industry standard. The widespread adoption of Kanban is facilitated by the fact that all Kanban practitioners share a common language. In addition to theoretical concepts, the KBOK™ Guide offers practical insights into how Kanban is implemented within organizations. It includes screenshots and references from 13 popular Kanban tools, enhancing real-world understanding. The KBOK™ Guide is available in multiple languages, including English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Italian, and French, and is offered for free on the Kanbanstudy™ website. |
Other training programs rely on guides that are typically limited to fewer than 20–30 pages, offering incomplete and novice-level explanations of Kanban concepts. Moreover, most of these guides fail to provide any practical guidance on how Kanban is applied in real-world scenarios. |
| Practical Implementation of Kanban in Organizations through Vabro |
Kanbanstudy™ has partnered with Vabro, an AI-powered SaaS platform that enables organizations to efficiently manage projects, workflows, OKRs, and DevOps. Vabro offers:
Students can gain hands-on experience with real-world Kanban applications using Vabro. |
Other Kanban certification bodies do not provide an integrated SaaS platform for Kanban implementation, making practical applications more challenging. |
| Scalable Kanban with Integration into Other Popular Agile Frameworks |
Beyond teaching theoretical Kanban concepts, Kanbanstudy™ includes a detailed appendix that focuses on how Kanban can be effectively scaled across an entire organization. It also explains how Kanban teams can collaborate with other teams using Agile frameworks such as DevOps, Lean, and Scrum. Kanbanstudy™ also demonstrates how Kanban integrates with the OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) framework, helping companies drive and measure success across all their work. |
Most other Kanban certification training providers focus on Kanban concepts applicable to small teams, often within software development. However, they typically lack guidance on scaling Kanban or integrating it with teams working on other Agile frameworks within an organization. |
| Recommendations on AI for increasing productivity |
The Kanbanstudy™ KBOK™ Guide offers specific recommendations on leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance productivity in Kanban workflows. It highlights how AI can streamline processes, increase efficiency, and assist in decision-making to optimize workflows. |
Other Kanban courses primarily focus on traditional principles and practices without offering dedicated insights into AI integration. They often lack guidance on leveraging modern AI tools to enhance productivity in Kanban workflows. |
| Free "Kanban Essentials Certified (KEC)" Webinar and Virtual Instructor-Led Training |
Through its free Kanban Essentials Certified (KEC) webinar and virtual instructor-led training, Kanbanstudy™ not only introduces professionals to Kanban concepts but also provides them with an introductory certification at no cost. This free certification includes self-paced online study with videos, chapter tests, case studies, and guides. The KEC certification is an excellent way to familiarize all employees in an organization with Kanban. |
Most other Kanban certification providers do not offer free resources or introductory support. In many cases, professionals must pay upfront before receiving their first lesson on Kanban. |
| Excellent training methodology |
Kanbanstudy™ A.T.P.s utilize a scientifically proven, highly interactive teaching methodology that includes role-plays, case studies, and simulations to explain key Kanban concepts in their certification courses. The use of Vabro further enhances learning by providing students with hands-on experience in real-world Kanban applications. To ensure a high-quality learning experience, every trainer associated with a Kanbanstudy™ A.T.P. is required to be an accredited Kanbanstudy™ Certified Trainer. |
Other Kanban certification "workshops" are typically less engaging and lack a strong focus on practical Kanban implementation. |
| Experienced Kanbanstudy™ Certified trainers |
To become a Kanbanstudy™ Certified Trainer, candidates must undergo a rigorous assessment process to demonstrate their proficiency in Kanban concepts. All trainers are required to pass two Kanbanstudy™ certification exams before becoming eligible to teach. Additionally, student feedback on trainers is regularly reviewed, and all Kanbanstudy™ trainers participate in "Train-the-Trainer" sessions. These sessions help them refine their teaching skills and deepen their understanding of Kanbanstudy™ certifications and Kanban principles. |
Most other Kanban certification providers do not enforce such strict trainer accreditation requirements or review processes. |
| Credible and Standardized Testing Environment |
Kanbanstudy™ provides a superior, standardized testing environment for certification exams, ensuring a reliable and credible assessment process. All certification exams are conducted using live online proctoring, allowing candidates to take their exams from the comfort of their homes. Each exam is proctored in real-time, with video recordings reviewed by AI and, optionally, by an expert assessment team to maintain exam integrity. |
Other Kanban certification providers often lack a standardized examination process. Typically, candidates only need to attend a workshop and pass an open-book, unproctored test to get certified. As a result, these certifications may not always carry the level of credibility that companies seek when evaluating candidates for key roles. |
| State-of-the-Art LMS and VMEdu Mobile App |
Kanbanstudy™ offers a state-of-the-art Learning Management System (LMS) and a cutting-edge mobile app to enhance the learning experience. Our LMS features a user-friendly interface that provides seamless access to all course materials in one place, including high-quality videos, interactive case studies, study guides, chapter tests, and flashcards. Learners can study at their own pace, track progress, and revisit topics as needed for a more efficient learning journey. The VMEdu mobile app, available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, brings the power of learning to your fingertips, enabling access to course materials anytime, anywhere. |
Other Kanban certification providers may not offer a comprehensive or integrated learning management system. Their resources are often distributed across various formats, leading to a less streamlined experience that makes it more challenging for learners to maintain consistency and track their progress effectively. |
