Specifically, content incorporated from our Lean Visual Project Management Execution Course (a $900 value) which provides proven Lean Visual tools and techniques to improve project delivery performance and reduce project timelines by 30%.
• Replaces less-relevant "manufacturing specific" topics in the LSSGB body of knowledge with relevant, project-oriented topics and material.

The Lean Six Sigma Green Belt for PMP Project Managers is designed to teach the Lean Six Sigma fundamentals and their application through a robust 5-day course specifically tailored to project environments and the needs of project professionals. The course aligns with the ASQ and IASSC certification requirements and includes the tools, techniques and concepts related to Six Sigma.

Students are trained and tested on their understanding and ability to apply the tools and techniques of the elements of the Lean Six Sigma methodology. As part of the DMAIC methodology, students are taught how to integrate Lean Six Sigma into an overall approach to process improvement.

The program is oriented towards building competent and data driven Lean Six Sigma practitioners, and capable Change Leaders. Upon completing Lean Six Sigma training, students will be required to achieve a passing mark of 70% or higher on an administered certification exam.  The exam is intended to validate student proficiency with Lean Six Sigma tools and techniques.
