    What Is Lean Project Management Training?A Practical Route to Leaner Delivery

    Lean Project Management Training in Iceland is a practical, foundation-level programme that applies Lean principles to the way projects are planned and delivered, so you streamline workflows, remove non-value-added activity and deliver more value to the customer.

Across 11 structured modules you build fluency in Value Stream Mapping, Kanban, 5S, Poka-Yoke, PDCA, A3 thinking and DMAIC, and learn to apply them to real project workflows through industry-driven case studies and hands-on exercises. The programme suits project managers, operations and quality professionals, business analysts and continuous improvement leads working across Iceland's seafood, energy, manufacturing and technology sectors. Delivered by experienced, industry-accredited trainers over a focused 2-day (16-hour) schedule in live virtual and corporate on-site formats, this is a hands-on skills course with no examination. On completion you receive a certificate of completion from Invensis Learning and, more importantly, the confidence to make your projects leaner from day one.

    Lean Tools You Will Put to WorkSkills You Apply from Day One

    This programme turns Lean principles into hands-on capability across the official 11-module syllabus. By the end you can map value, remove waste, visualise flow and run continuous improvement on real project work.

    Map and Streamline Value Streams

    Learn what you will gain from Lean Project Management training by starting where value flows. Build current-state and future-state value stream maps to expose delays, waste and handoffs, then redesign the workflow so work moves smoothly from request to delivery.

    Run Work Visually with Kanban

    Use Kanban boards to make project workload visible, limit work in progress and manage flow in real time. You leave able to spot bottlenecks early and keep small, busy teams focused on the work that matters most.

    Eliminate Waste and Error-Proof Processes

    Apply 5S to organise the workplace and Poka-Yoke to prevent mistakes before they happen. You learn to identify the common types of project waste and design them out, protecting quality in high-cost, tight-margin settings.

    Drive Continuous Improvement with PDCA

    Put the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle to work so improvement becomes routine, not a one-off. You practise running small, safe experiments that steadily raise delivery performance and embed a culture of continuous improvement.

    Solve Problems with A3 and DMAIC

    Tackle project problems at the root using A3 thinking and DMAIC. You learn a disciplined, evidence-based way to analyse issues, test countermeasures and prevent recurrence across your workflows.

    Plan and Deliver Lean Projects

    Bring it together with Lean planning, Lean scheduling and resource optimisation. You learn to align delivery to customer value, manage risk and uncertainty, and keep milestones on track with minimal waste.

    Do I need any special tools or software?

    No special tools or software are required. The focus is on Lean methodology and principles, though visual tools can help you map processes and track improvements once you apply the techniques at work.

    Does the completion record expire?

    No. The certificate of completion does not expire and there is nothing to renew. The Lean skills you gain are immediately applicable and remain useful throughout your career.
