I do understand that "repetitio est mater studiorum", but in this case it did not work well. Section 5 is unnecessary - it can be replaced by Section 6. Section 6 can is OK, but last 15 of webinar is just an advertisement of Author other activities. It would be more beneficial to dive deeper into Kanban e.g. how to divide epic into tasks or how to manage unexpected events/work.

Purchased coz it was the highest rated. A lot of topics were repeated and became irritating at some point. Wasted 2 hours of my time and my money.

Admittedly, I'm what you call scattered brain, I have gone through other lectures on Kanban, and only here that I learned that I was doing it the wrong way. It walks you through the basic principles of Kanban and how to effectively use it as a beginner. I have heard that it's a great tool to complete tasks and I became excited about it but making it work for me often fails. The good thing about me and Kanban is that I never gave up on searching for the right material that will provide me clarity on how to get started with Kanban. This lecture help me peel off my challenges with Kanban. So, if you're looking for beginners Kanban, this course is definitely for you.
