Lean Essentials for Technology Leaders and Teams
Learn how Lean principles can transform all aspects of IT, including application development, deployment, security, networks, and infrastructure.
Enhance Your IT Department's Agile Approach with Lean Six Sigma
Process improvement tools were born in the manufacturing sector, but they've helped drive significant changes in information technology in recent decades. But with several approaches to choose from, like Agile, DevOps, and the Lean Startup, it can be challenging to determine where to start. MoreSteam's Lean Essentials for Technology Leaders and Teams course shows how these toolsets connect and offer a path toward sustainable process improvement in the IT space.
This interactive, 13-hour course builds on the ideas introduced in the book, "The Lean IT Field Guide: A Roadmap for Your Transformation," illustrating how to develop problem-solving behaviors in frontline employees while turning managers into coaches. The book's co-authors, Michael Orzen and Thomas Paider, partnered with MoreSteam.com to create a comprehensive training platform to help elevate your organization's operational excellence efforts. Whether you're a leader or a frontline team member, this course will equip you with practical skills that lead to sustainable change.
