Developed by Rani Abdul Karim Omar

Lean project management takes into account the lean principles and applies them to project management. Lean is a philosophy that has the aim to systematically elements waste and add more value. Lean covers a set of tools and techniques that allows companies in almost all areas to streamline their process. Projects are subject to three main constraints which are scoop, budget, and time. Lean project management's central objective is to make projects run more efficiently and to deliver better outcomes. Another reason why it is essential is that it provides a lot of other advantages such as the following:

• Increased innovation: Enhance the inventiveness of the project
• Eliminating waste: All non-value-adding process is seen as waste and having a lean approach to the project management aims to minimize all physical waste and non-value-adding times between the steps.
• Improves customer service: With Lean Project management, you always have the customer in focus and deliver what the customer needs.
• Increased quality: By minimizing waste any defects are getting discovered early with the help of quality checks or control.

No matter if the project objectives serve internal or external stakeholders, can Lean project management simplify the different steps in the project and establish a better efficient project group.
