Design for Flow –
Public Cohort
A practical path to predictable, sustainable delivery
Design for Flow is a cohort-based learning experience for people working in software delivery contexts who want to improve how work actually flows.
Spend just 2–3 hours a week and watch your delivery process transform.
You’ll learn to:
Design a delivery process that fits your context, and set it up for success.
Plan and sequence work at multiple levels, from vision to daily flow.
Communicate clearly with stakeholders and manage expectations.
Manage and mitigate risks using simple, visual tools.
Analyse and continually improve your process without adding bureaucracy.
Whether your team has a dedicated delivery manager or shares the responsibilities across roles (tech lead, product manager, engineering manager), these practices are designed to be co‑created with the whole team.

Who this course is for
This course is designed for:
delivery practitioners
team leads
product and engineering leaders
people working between strategy and execution
It’s especially relevant if you:
feel responsible for outcomes without full control over the system
see recurring issues around prioritisation, planning, and flow
sense that “doing more” or “optimising harder” won’t solve the real problem
want to understand what’s shaping delivery before trying to fix it
What we’ll cover
Throughout the course, we work with the full delivery landscape, including:
connecting day-to-day work to organisational vision and purpose
making expectations and team agreements explicit
working productively with stakeholders without distorting priorities
shaping and sizing work items so they support flow
planning with uncertainty, capacity, and risk in mind
using tracking and retrospectives as tools for learning, not rituals
We use proven templates and structures as starting points.
What you get
4 weeks of blended learning.
10–12 hours of self‑paced learning content.
5 hours of live group calls
Course workbook and templates to use directly with your team.
Course structure
The course consists of two elements: content and live consolidation calls.
Weekly rhythm: ~2 hours of self study with material + 1 hour live group call
The content includes theory, practical exercises to try and templates to use with your team.
Attending the weekly group consolidation calls will strengthen your learning.
You can share your insights and dive deeper into a particular topic.

What leaders say about the course
A reminder of what one set of sensible defaults look like, and how important it is to spend time setting things up!
It was a pleasure taking the course, and I thought the material was high-quality and very thoughtful. I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next
Duncan Mortimer
Head of Engineering
Thank you for the great and well prepared course. I especially enjoyed that you were able to also bring insights from your experience out in the field to the round. It is always great to bring practical examples together with the theory. Also to highlight that out there things never work a 100% like in the textbook. So was also great to see how you were able to extrapolate approaches to fit the use cases shared.
I also enjoyed the mixed group with different contexts. That made the experience more valuable.
Maria Petrikova
Engineering Manager
Great insights about best practices. Learning new ones and validating some processes done within my team.
The main leanings was how to plan properly (scope, content, timing) and about ways to do early analysis on projects (focused on risks, skills...).

Senior Product Manager
Still have questions?
If you’re carrying questions about how delivery is designed, prioritised, and sustained, this cohort offers a structured way to explore them without adding more pressure.
If you have any questions about the course, feel free to send me a message or book a call.
