Agile PM is a methodology to implement to get maximum business efficiency eliminating waste and reducing production costs. This is the most basic definition of agile. Scrum, in particular, is one of the most used agile frameworks. Initially, Scrum was born for software development projects, but it can now be applied also in innovative and more complex projects. Applying it, the work is completed and delivered in short cycles (called sprints) to keep the focus on development and continuous improvement of a product or service.

The problem is that when trying to apply incorrect information, the entire business structure could be compromised (even if it is only for a single wrong step).
For this reason, the main objective of this guide is to teach you, once and for all, how to properly apply the Lean Six Sigma system to eliminate inefficiency and achieve tangible results to increase the performance of your business or project.
The methodology explained in this guide combines two different types: the Lean system with the Six Sigma system, with the main objective of eliminating all waste to increase the results.
In this guide we’ll cover:

- The “customer approach”.
- The main mistakes to avoid.
- The implementation of the Lean Six Sigma System.
- The main benefits of applying the Lean Six Sigma Method.
- The similarities and differences between DMAIC and DMADV.
- And many other things....
This guide is structured in a step-by-step way, and it’s composed with practical information to make it possible to apply concretely all instructions. In conclusion, this guide is highly recommended for every person who is looking for right information on the topic of Lean Six Sigma to apply them directly to their project or business.

Through her global consulting projects, keynote speeches, and work with thousands of leaders, Karen has seen first-hand how a pervasive lack of clarity strangles business performance and erodes employee engagement. Ambiguity is the corporate default state, a condition so prevalent that “tolerance for ambiguity” has become a clichéd job requirement. It doesn’t have to be this way.

Since you were old enough to hold a job, you've been hoodwinked to believe that wealth can be created by blindly trusting in the uncontrollable and unpredictable markets: the housing market, the stock market, and the job market. I call this soul-sucking, dream-stealing dogma "The Slowlane" - an impotent financial gamble that dubiously promises wealth in a wheelchair. For those who don't want a lifetime subscription to "settle-for-less", there is an alternative.
