Course description
The Lean Project Management Certification by the Management and Strategy Institute combines project management skills with the waste reduction principles of Lean.
Lean project management seamlessly integrates the principles of continuous improvement, frequently associated with Six Sigma methodology. At its core, lean project management is dedicated to optimizing project value by meticulously identifying and eradicating process inefficiencies and waste. In the context of project management, the application of lean principles serves as a multifaceted approach that begins with assessing the present state of operations. It then transitions into envisioning a future state characterized by heightened efficiency and effectiveness. To bridge the gap between these two states, lean project management establishes rigorous standards and streamlined processes, paving the way for the realization of these ambitious goals. This methodological approach complements and enhances the practices already employed by project managers, aligning seamlessly with their overarching mission of driving successful project outcomes through continuous improvement.
By incorporating lean principles, project managers can harness a systematic framework that empowers them to scrutinize existing processes, unearth bottlenecks, and pinpoint opportunities for enhancement. This holistic approach extends beyond waste reduction and encompasses the creation of efficient workflows, improved resource allocation, and the elimination of non-value-added activities. The integration of lean within project management not only fosters superior project outcomes but also cultivates a culture of continuous improvement among project teams. It encourages adaptability, innovation, and the relentless pursuit of operational excellence, ultimately positioning projects for long-term success in an ever-evolving business landscape. In essence, lean project management serves as a formidable ally for project managers, enriching their toolkit with the indispensable capabilities of continuous improvement, ultimately leading to more effective and efficient project delivery.
The Project Management – Lean Process Certified (PM-LPC) certification is issued exclusively by the Management and Strategy Institute. The certification exam is designed to test your understanding of project management and lean business principles. Many executive jobs today require their employees to have a basic understanding of project management and lean.
