ABSTRACT
Project management is the discipline of planning, organizing, securing and managing resources to achieve specific goals. The primary purpose of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 21500 is to enable multi-national organizations to coordinate their project management processes and systems. Being familiar with the new ISO standard for project management as well as the Project Management Body of Knowledge and Projects in controlled environments 2 (PRINCE2) serves the Leaner Practitioner well, as a solid educational platform. The PRINCE2 methodology encompasses the management, control and organization of a project. Understanding basic project management materials will be beneficial to the Leaner Practitioner. There are other international organizations that offer project management certification. In Lean Six Sigma and basic Project Management, the term Change Management refers primarily to the processes and documentation in place to ensure the change takes place or that the process is implemented.
