Lean Project Management - Students

One of the topics discussed extensively in the current Education System, is the skill set required by the students to survive in the Business and the Industrial world. Globally much energy has been expended in attempting to raise the basic skill levels and standards in general curriculum areas such as reading and math, but little attention has been devoted to LIFE SKILLS.

As per UNICEF (Ref: Comprehensive framework for life skills), the top 3 Life Skills are:

Interpersonal communication skills
Decision Making and Critical thinking skills
Coping and Self management skills

These skills, knowledge, and abilities are very much needed as a foundation for success in the business and industrial worlds. We think that exposing students to the Project Management world will not only enhance their Life Skills, but will also help them to implement these Life Skills in the business and work environment.

The Lean Project Management certification will introduce and familiarize high school and post-secondary students to the concepts and field of project management, and the tools to apply this knowledge for self management and to a wide range of career paths. It will also fill the need for an industry-recognized certification that allows education institutions to add value to their programs.

What is Lean Project Management?

Lean project management is the application of lean and Project management concepts such as lean construction, lean manufacturing and lean thinking to project management.

Lean project management has many ideas in common with other lean concepts; however, the main principle of lean project management is delivering more value with less waste in a project context.
