Guide: Lean Problem-Solving in PMI-ACP Examination

Lean Problem-Solving is a key concept in the PMI-ACP examination.
What is Lean Problem-Solving?
Lean Problem-Solving is a systematic method used to tackle complex problems. Rather than finding quick fixes, it concentrates on identifying the root causes of problems and developing long-lasting solutions.
Why is it important?
It's important since it leads to quality improvement, better efficiency, and eliminates waste within the processes.
How it works?
It involves several steps which include identifying the problem, analyzing the problem, identifying root cause, devising countermeasures, implementation, follow-up, and standardization.
Exam Tips: Answering Questions on Lean Problem-Solving
Understanding the principles and steps of Lean Problem-Solving is crucial. Remember, the focus of Lean Problem-Solving is identifying and addressing the root cause of the problem rather than applying temporary fixes. Also, familiarize yourself with the key Lean tools, such as 5 Whys or Cause and Effect Diagrams, that may be used in problem-solving scenarios.

Lean Problem-Solving practice test

Lean problem-solving is a systematic approach for solving complex problems in a project environment. Stemming from Lean principles, it encompasses techniques such as the 5 Whys which, involve asking 'why' five times to go beyond the apparent problem and identify the root cause. It also makes use of the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) cycle in which an idea is planned, implemented, checked for results, and then either adopted or actions are changed based on the results. This continuous cycle promotes constant learning and improvement in project processes.
