Canonical definition
The IBQMI Certified Kanban Coach credential validates professional capability in Kanban Flow Management and Kanban Coaching.
Combined capability
The credential combines understanding of the work-flow system with the capability to facilitate adoption, learning and improvement. Coaching capability therefore extends beyond knowing Kanban mechanics.
Relationship to Approved Kanban Professional
The IBQMI Approved Kanban Professional credential validates Kanban Flow Management and is connected to this credential in the professional pathway. The two credentials remain distinct.
Relationship to Scrumban
A direct connection to IBQMI Certified Scrumban Practitioner is navigational within the portfolio. It does not itself establish a prerequisite or equivalence.
Credential and implementation
Holding the credential validates individual professional capability. It does not prove that an organization has adopted Kanban successfully or that a specific transformation will succeed.
Institutional context
The credential belongs to the IBQMI® certification model and can be checked through IBQMI® credential verification. The professional system is maintained by IBQMI®.
What the credential does not mean
It is not organizational decision authority, a guarantee of flow performance or a software-tool certification.
