We learned how to look at product development in a different way. . .We learned there is no universal solution, you have to take general principles and then customize them to your own needs.
It was a great introduction to all of the fundamentals of lean for product development, I got an understanding of all the major themes of lean for PD...that was really a good way to learn.
The Lean PD Basics course came at the right time . . . We wanted to improve our R & D operations and this course brought us the clarity to move from theory into concrete implementation.
I liked hearing other people's questions, sharing their A3s, and sharing their own experiences. There was an A3 on the topic and the class stayed on topic--Katherine kept it organized.
I learned a lot, it answered a lot of questions I had about how lean can be applied to a process that is largely a design function. . .that has directly translated into our own initiatives.
Over 100 Knowledge Briefs - short articles that drill into one aspect of lean product development, written in the form of Knowledge Capture A3 Reports. These articles make the best available knowledge about lean product development accessible, actionable and easy to read.
Templates and example documents that illustrate how to use A3 reports, roadmaps, checklists and other key documents within a lean product development process. Members have the ability to modify and share these templates to avoid the waste of reinvention.
We post our latest public presentations along with a growing collection of short videos and audio recordings to dive more deeply into lean product development principles and practices.
