Building a Project-Driven Enterprise: How to Slash Waste and Boost Profits Through Lean Project Management Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book describes how every task and activity within a project should create value. After a few chapters of theory and laying a foundation, the author describes twelve "Lean Methods". Each is reviewed in detail and then summarized in a one-page "Method at a Glance." Each "at a Glance" is broken into six sections: Overview, Waste-Slashing Benefit, When to Apply, Who Can Use It and Typical Implementation Profile. Photocopy these twelve pages when you finish the book to always remind yourself about "keeping lean."
After reading Building a Project-Driven Enterprise and learning about Lean Project Management, you will have another tool in your tool belt. Use it as you would other tools, such as the theory of constraints, Total Quality Management, Six Sigma, Balance Scorecard, or the Project Management Book of Knowledge. There is much to use here while not being burdened with monotone, textbook dribble.
The book is easy and yes, fun to read. It is peppered with case studies, anecdotes, and stories, well written in a light, conversational tone. The author asks you questions throughout to make you think and form your own answers prior to reading his approach. I believe anyone in business will find value in this book, but project managers will relate closely with the waste-slashing ideas.
