Answers to Frequent Questions
Kandike is perfectly suitable for beginners. In fact, its lingo is deliberately founded on classic playing cards to avoid terminology that may not be very intuitive to people who have prior experience with agility.
Kandike can be used for any type of activities and commitments that need planning. You can use it for organising work, hobbies, volunteering assignments - or your whole life.
The primary purpose of using a productivity method like Kandike is to improve the effectiveness of all the thinking and planning needed to get the right things done well and on time. Like any new skill, learning Kandike will require some investment at the beginning, but once you have learned it, the structured planning activities it entails are meant to replace the unstructured planning and thinking one would otherwise spend too much time on.
Whether or not Kandike is the right method for you is less about the specific professional role you have and more about the nature of the work you do. Kandike is particularly well-fitted for knowledge workers and managers, who have a high degree of autonomy in their work, have a dynamic workload with many complex tasks, most of which are not immediately urgent and can be planned days ahead. If the work you do is highly uniform, repetitive and most tasks need to be executed immediately, then you may not be able to leverage Kandike's full potential. That said, Kandike is not only a method for work. It can be used for any type of activities that need planning.
The trainer will be reachable between and after the session and happy to answer any questions you may have.
Kandike combines principles and practices from established lean and agile frameworks with the best practices from multiple traditional productivity methods, with a gamification dimension added on top of that. Users of such methods as GTD, Scrum and SAFe will find some of Kandike's concepts familiar, but the way these concepts are combined and manifested is very different from any other existing method.
Unless you miss the examination itself, there is a high chance that you will still be able to make it through to certification. The trainer will be there to support you throughout the remaining sessions and you will be able to catch up on much of the content with the help of the provided handout materials.
The trainings sessions are live, but there is a week between each two, giving you enough time to read up and practice whatever you may have missed at your own pace.
Just a computer with a stable internet connection, a web camera and a microphone. Once you enroll, you will receive information on some additional free tools to install.
Whether to record the sessions or not is decided by each training provider individually. However, we encourage all participants to take part in all sessions, as most of the training is very practical and hard to effectively substitute with passive video watching.
The training is very interactive. It features recurring exercises and discussions. You are strongly encouraged to ask questions and participate actively.
You will have the opportunity to reach out to the trainer between the sessions to get additional support if needed. However, if after having received all the support you feel that the training still hasn't enabled you to practice Kandike, you may apply for a full refund. Different training provider companies may have different refund policies, but trainings provided directly by Kandike Foundation come with a 14-day money back guarantee.
You will get practical homework assignments between the trainer-led sessions. These are designed to help you prepare for applying Kandike on your own, but are not critical to passing the examination. For the best result, we recommend setting off at least one additional hour every week for practice.
The Kandike Practitioner certification issued by Kandike Foundation is the only legitimate Kandike certification in the world. No other company or individual is entitled to issue Kandike certifications.
