ABSTRACT

The Lean and Agile project manager interested in working with ISO 14001 should be familiar with the environmental efforts of the company as well as any compliance issues for that specific industry and/or governmental regulations. The introduction of ISO 13053 for Six Sigma provides a visual road map for the Lean and Agile project manager. It enhances the credibility of process improvement procedures and provides a common vocabulary and guidelines that may be implemented and understood worldwide. Finally, the Lean and Agile project manager should remember that all process improvement best practices, standards, theories, and methodologies share the respect and use of basic project management principles. One thing everyone in businesses associated with process improvement or project management should be aware of is that many standard methodologies are adopting best practices from other bodies of knowledge.
