Lean Project Management: Analyse the application of lean project management principles

Abstract: This study explores the application of lean project management principles to improve project outcomes. Lean project management, a flexible and adaptive approach, focuses on delivering value to customers while minimizing waste and optimizing resources. Through a mixed-methods approach, this research examines the benefits, challenges, and best practices of lean project management in three organizations. The findings reveal improved efficiency, collaboration, and customer satisfaction through reduced waste, continuous improvement, and team collaboration. However, challenges such as resistance to change and scaling difficulties must be addressed. This study contributes to the project management body of knowledge by highlighting the potential of lean project management to revolutionize project outcomes and providing guidance for successful implementation.
