Summary

Lean Six Sigma is a continuous improvement strategy that seeks to improve process performance by reducing wastes and defects.  There are a number of tools within the Lean Six Sigma toolkit that can help Project Management Professionals scope and deliver impactful projects. During this presentation, I will home in on several effective components of Lean Six Sigma that I have leveraged successfully for years.
