Project Managers are usually confronted with situations and events that have a negative effect on the established schedule and they are still expected to bring the project in on time. One proven method to improve schedule compliance is to employ process mapping methodology and other Lean – Six Sigma tools to selected processes.
This analytical improvement technique provides project teams with an avenue to reduce the time required for a selected process without reducing quality. Assessing Project Risks and Business Continuity Planning will also be discussed.
