Description
Unlock project success with Lean Project Management and join the elite group of project managers who deliver lasting business value to 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 unpredictable and 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

Today's organisations are more like ecosystems than they are like machines. So, whether it's organisational or personal change, your chances of success will be greater if you approach change like a gardener not a mechanic.
I have been helping businesses to deliver strategic change projects and programs for over 20 years. My roles have ranged from being the business leader who drives the change, through to being a trusted advisor to CEO's and COO's, helping them to get value from their projects, programmes and ventures.
I am also a member of the Executive Coaching Panel at Warwick Business School and a member of the School's Mentoring Steering Committee.
I am the author of two books Business Leadership for IT Projects and Gardeners Not Mechanics: How to Cultivate Change at Work.
I have also published a number of articles in Project Manager Today, and the British Computer Society professional members journal ITNow.
