Introduction
Organizations face increasing pressure to adopt efficient and effective methods for managing projects that drive performance improvement. Effective project management goes beyond simply completing tasks, it’s about achieving higher performance, minimizing waste, and consistently delivering value. Lean six sigma project management combines the principles of Lean and Six Sigma with project management strategies to optimize processes, reduce waste, and achieve measurable results. This course equips participants with the tools and techniques necessary to lead Lean Six Sigma projects successfully, enabling them to improve operational efficiency, minimize variability, and enhance quality in project outcomes.
