| The
same principles of statistical thinking in Six Sigma and
Lean Production can be applied to Project Management with
the same results: substantial improvement without trading
off time, resources, or quality. Does your organization
need projects done in less time? Or make late projects
extinct? Or deliver more projects with the same resources?
A method exists to deliver these results.
Since
1997, when Eli Goldratt developed the Critical Chain
approach for managing single and multiple projects,
hundreds of companies have benefited from substantial
improvement in project management. In this one-day workshop,
you will learn how the application of statistics from
Six Sigma and flow from Lean Production provide an entirely
new way to manage projects - how the same resources
can deliver more projects, on time, with less work,
and no sacrifice of quality.
The
tutorial has three parts:
1. What is the problem with traditional project management?
Why do our projects take too long? Why are so many projects
late? Why do we have to scramble resources, cut scope,
and sacrifice quality to make our deadline?
2. How can the statistical concepts of Six Sigma provide
us a new way to manage projects? How can we apply Lean
Production to managing projects, instead of plants?
What kind of results can these methods deliver?
3. How can we transition from what we're doing now (traditional
project management) to the next generation? How can
software development projects, Six Sigma projects, and
Lean projects get done faster? Why is the implementation
the point where many companies fail with Six Sigma and
Lean for project management?
