    Frequently Asked QuestionsHere's everything you may ask...

    Lean IT is the application of Lean principles, thinking and tools to IT services and operations, so teams can remove waste, improve flow and deliver more value to the customer. This foundation-level training suits IT professionals, service and project managers, team leaders, developers, testers and process practitioners in India.

    General

    What is Lean IT and who is this training for?

    Lean IT is the application of Lean principles, thinking and tools to IT services and operations, so teams can remove waste, improve flow and deliver more value to the customer. This foundation-level training suits IT professionals, service and project managers, team leaders, developers, testers and process practitioners in India.

    Is Lean IT training worth it for my career in India?

    Yes. Lean IT skills are valued across India's IT services firms, GCCs, BFSI, telecom and healthcare, where efficiency and service reliability matter. The skills map to roles from continuous improvement analyst to IT service delivery and process excellence lead, making it a practical investment in your growth.

    Do I need prior experience to take the Lean IT course?

    No prior experience is required. This is a foundation-level, beginner-friendly programme. A basic understanding of IT services and some familiarity with Lean ideas help you get more from it, but they are not essential.

    Which standard is the Lean IT training based on?

    The training is grounded in the EXIN Lean IT body of knowledge, the recognised reference for applying Lean principles in an IT environment. It covers the five Lean principles, value stream mapping, Kaizen, DMAIC, 5S, Kanban and the Deming (PDCA) cycle.

    How is Lean IT different from general Lean training?

    General Lean training covers Lean tools broadly, often with a manufacturing lens. Lean IT applies those same tools specifically to IT services and operations, so every concept, from value streams to Kaizen, is framed around IT delivery, incidents, flow and customer value.

    Pricing

    How much does the Lean IT training cost in India?

    Lean IT training fees in India vary by delivery mode, group size and schedule, so pricing is available on request. Live virtual instructor-led and corporate on-site options are quoted separately. Request a quote or speak with a learning advisor for current pricing.

    What is included in the Lean IT course fee?

    The fee typically includes instructor-led training, Lean IT courseware aligned to the EXIN body of knowledge, a study guide, chapter-end quizzes, mock practice, case studies and learner support. Exact inclusions depend on the option you choose.

    Do you offer group or corporate pricing for teams?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for IT departments, service teams and GCC pods. Ask about corporate or group pricing for a tailored quote.

    Is there a retake option if I want to attend again?

    Yes. With the Flexi Pass, you can attend the same training twice within two months at no extra charge. It is a helpful option if you want a refresher before applying Lean IT at work. Talk to an advisor to add it.

    What payment methods and instalment options are available?

    We accept major credit and debit cards and bank transfers, and offer instalment options on selected plans. Speak with a learning advisor to choose the option that suits you.

    Assessment

    Is there a test at the end of the Lean IT course?

    No, this is a practical skills programme with no formal test. You take part in exercises, quizzes, case studies and mock practice during the two days, which reinforce learning and help you apply Lean IT concepts confidently at work.

    What will I receive after completing the training?

    On finishing the programme, you receive recognition of completion from Invensis Learning confirming your learning achievement. More importantly, you leave with a practical Lean IT toolkit you can use in your role straight away.

    How long is the Lean IT training?

    The training runs over two days (16 hours), covering Lean principles applied to IT across eight structured modules, with practical exercises, case studies and quizzes throughout. An extended half-day schedule over four days is also possible.

    How do I choose the right Lean IT training programme?

    Look for a comprehensive curriculum, experienced trainers, practical learning support and a format that fits you, such as live virtual or onsite. Grounding in the EXIN Lean IT body of knowledge and hands-on IT case studies are strong signs of quality.

    Will the training help me apply Lean in my current role?

    Yes. The programme is built around applying Lean at work, not just learning theory. You practise value stream mapping, Kaizen and DMAIC on IT scenarios, so you can start removing waste and improving flow in your own environment quickly.

    Course Content

    What topics are covered in the Lean IT training?

    The training covers eight modules: introduction to Lean, focusing on the customer, improving existing processes, enhancing operational performance, organisation, behaviour and attitude, Lean IT leadership, and Lean IT Kaizen, all applied to IT services and operations.

    What Lean tools and methods will I learn?

    You learn the five Lean principles, muda, mura and muri, value stream mapping, SIPOC, VoC and CTQ, 5S, Heijunka, Kanban and visual management, key performance indicators, process cycle efficiency, the Deming (PDCA) cycle, Kaizen and the DMAIC model.

    Are there practical exercises and case studies included?

    Yes. The programme uses industry-driven case studies, practical exercises, chapter-end quizzes and mock practice so you apply each concept to realistic IT situations rather than only reading about it.

    What learning materials are provided?

    You receive Lean IT courseware aligned to the EXIN body of knowledge, a study guide created by subject matter experts, chapter-end quizzes, mock practice and practical learning support to reinforce each module.

    Is the courseware up to date and IT-specific?

    Yes. The courseware follows the current EXIN Lean IT body of knowledge and frames every tool around IT services and operations, so the examples, value streams and improvements all reflect real IT delivery.
