Description
This 90-minute accredited online course is designed to provide an introduction to the basic LEAN principles of managing multiple projects, or
programs. Managing multiple projects is about LEVELING the DEMAND of projects against the SUPPLY of resources in the face of constant
change. We live in an environment where programs are no longer simple, slow, and certain, but are complex, quick, and uncertain.
Whether your multiple projects are part of a large multi-million-dollar effort, or small revamp projects at a manufacturing site, the issues are the
same and the systems you create to respond to the challenges can be the same. While there are many new IT tools available which we can
use to stay competitive, we cannot ignore the basic concepts of good project management. Only by understanding basic LEAN program
delivery systems and techniques will we be able to apply new IT solutions to enable improved project success with fewer resources. By
participating in this course, you will understand how LEAN can allow concurrent improvements in the BIG FIVE Metrics (cost, schedule, quality,
safety, and green). You will no longer have to pick 2 or 3 at the expense of the other metrics.
