24. Lean Celebration! The Voice of the Customer shows what the customer really wants! LEAN is really valuable! I 5S all documentation! The LEAN PMBOK is great! I create standard work. Now I can recycle all my projects! I run concurrent efforts ! No more waiting for the next iteration, no more excessive requirements inventory! Knowing the 7 wastes keeps me on my toes! The end-to end value chain provides visibility into the process! I know where we need to work and who owns what! I load balance my resources! I push cost to the cost causer and have created the LEAN enterprise! No more waiting ! My projects complete on time! Meetings start on time! Supplies and files arrive on time! Freedom from over-production means only having what is pulled by the customer! No more process failure from defective information. My communication plan is LEAN, pulled by the customer, from a centralized repository ! Institutionalizing Lessons Learned keeps us on the continuous improvement track!
