This course is really engaging with plenty of take aways on how to use data to inform your ways of working. Nick does an excellent job of breaking down various charts to help your team visualise flow and identify the patterns and anti-patterns within your team. As a Coach myself, I gained valuable insight on how to guide teams towards better performance. There are plenty of practical exercises that break up the theory which gives you the opportunity to critically analyse trends. Nick gently guides you throughout the course and makes the content easy to follow and digestible. This course is a must for anyone trying to improve their flow and how a team works!

I highly recommend this course for anyone with an interest in visualising and improving flow, especially those who coach teams on improving the way they work. This course strikes the perfect balance between giving information and practical application, and is super easy to follow along. For those new to flow data visualisation and interpretation, this course will be a great way to boost your confidence. For those who are familiar with some of the content in this course, you will likely learn something new. Nicks experience as a practitioner shines through in his interpretation of each chart, and his description of how he would use the insight to coach teams. A great course!

I found this training incredibly useful to get my head around FlowViz and flow metrics. The adoption and utilisation of flow metrics have steadily increased at our company and we therefore have dozens of teams referencing the charts on a regular basis. For new users, the amount of information and potential insights can seem a bit overwhelming, but having this course as a reference makes things a lot easier. I found the structure of first having an overview of a given topic, followed by the chance to apply the learnings in an exercise, and then concluded by a review particularly helpful as it makes things that little bit more practical and allows you to think about how else you might apply those learnings. I would highly recommend this course for anyone that is looking to start using FlowViz, or trying to gain more understanding of flow metrics in general!

I recently completed the FlowViz Fundamentals course and was highly impressed with the detail, range of examples and opportunities to review data throughout. Focussing on trends over time is a far more mature approach than I have used before and provides a better view of the "bigger picture". Definitely a course I would recommend for anyone looking to better understand flow and delivery of value through data.

Easy to follow and fit into your day, the short lessons are perfect to help you understand the FlowViz dashboards. Also useful to help think about the ways that we work in our teams and what actions we might take to improve our Flow. I especially liked having exercises to practice what had been discussed to test my understanding.
