See all- Allan Kelly presents: Featureban LiveRWE Generation UK, Swindon
We're excited to bring you another session and remain grateful to our generous sponsor, RWE Supply & Trading, for providing us with the fantastic venue and supporting our event.
Allan Kelly presents: Featureban Live
Experience flow, understand what gets in the way of achieving delivering value, see work-in-progress limits and learn Kanban principles.This immersive simulation uses a Mike Burrows Featureban flow game to demonstrate the problems getting work to flow, how bottlenecks occur, the power of work-in-progress limits and the principles of Kanban thinking like "stop starting and start finishing."
We'll be looking for players - please try to bring a laptop if playing.
In this simulation you will see the work build up and experience changes that reduce bottlenecks, improve flow and see how work completes when work-in-progress falls. By the end you will have take-away actions you can use immediately to improve your team's flow and delivery performance.

Our sponsor, RWE Supply & Trading
RWE Supply & Trading is the interface between RWE and energy markets around the world. A total of 1,800 employees from over 70 different countries are engaged in the trade of (renewable) electricity, (green) gas, commodities and carbon emission certificates. We are active not only in Essen, which is home to one of the world’s largest trading floors, but also in major cities like London and New York and in key growth markets - particularly in Asia, where we are represented in Singapore and China. With precise market analysis and a strong customer focus, we create innovative energy supply solutions and risk management concepts for industrial companies.Now that all of our renewable activities are integrated within RWE, RWE Supply & Trading can increasingly offer customised products and services from a single source, such as a combination of renewables plus control energy or conventional electricity. We are also able to draw on our considerable experience in the marketing of electricity from renewables. Deutsche Bahn (German Rail), for instance, is one of the key accounts choosing to purchase green power from RWE Supply & Trading.
