Unlock project success with Lean Project Management and join the elite group of project managers who deliver lasting business valueto their customers. This course is a unique and proven approach to project management, crafted from over 25 years of delivering complex projects and in-depth research into project success.

Conventional project management approaches focus on delivering lists of milestones without real business value, but Lean Project Management recognizes that projects are inherently unpredictableand structures your project to deliver regular, usable business value throughout the project lifecycle. This approach is perfect for IT-based projects, but it can be applied to all types of projects.

In this course, you will learn through a series of bite-sized videos with accompanying notes and references, for a total of over 4 hours of video content. You will understand how to structure your project to deliver usable business value, instead of the daily grind and stress of trying to keep things on course. The course includes 17 straightforward exercises that ask you to apply what you have learned to your own project, and for those without a project, a suggested “case study” is provided.

This course is the answer to the question of how projects become a year late, one day at a time. Don’t let tomorrow be one of those days – sign up now and take advantage of the 30-day money-back guarantee.

By enrolling in this course, you will gain the skills to run projects differently and transform your approach to project management. Say goodbye to the traditional approach and embrace Lean Project Management, a flexible and effective approach that will help you deliver lasting business value to your customers
