Lean Program Management (Lean PM) is a two-day course built on the foundational truth that being requirements-led in the early phases of the design process is inherent to efficiently designing best-in-class products. By the time most teams realize their requirements were either incomplete or the wrong challenges were focused on, it's too late.
This course directly addresses the systemic gaps that undermine modern engineering teams and equips them with a holistic design approach. Through pulling critical knowledge out of siloed stakeholders, identifying the systems that matter most, and building robust requirements, Lean PM can help ensure the success of a product through its entire lifecycle.
Lean PM is a discipline that transforms how teams approach product design across every stage of development, regardless of if that team is focused around hardware, software, controls algorithms, and complex strategies alike. Regardless of your team’s individual disciplines, having the tools to draw the most critical information from the most knowledgeable people can transform your approach and ensure product success.
Key Questions
- How are Systems Engineering principles being practically applied in the design concept phase of a program to design better products (including simulation models)?
- How are “requirements” being used to improve system-level design innovation?
- How has a “subsystem design” approach migrated to a system-level approach to designing products?
- What measures are used to assess system-level design health of NPI programs?
- How has the pursuit of “optimization” been effectively woven into corporate design and New Product Introduction processes?
- How is Design Engineering being leveraged (or those skilled in the art of designing products) to best achieve bottom-line results including Engineering Efficiency?
- What plans exist to mature (and retain) the most talented Design Engineers, and what is the impact of not doing so?
- How has Design Engineering been exercised to achieve Sustainability goals, and what bottom-line benefits exist when committing to Design for Sustainability?
- How are Design Engineers effectively managed to motivate and enable them?
- How are requirements used as a foundation for the “design thread”?
- How do you effectively and efficiently document technical and product-based knowledge?

- Content
The course is designed for professionals in roles such as:
- Systems Engineers: System Engineers are responsible for designing and managing complex engineering systems. This course equips them with the skills to integrate sustainability into their system-level design practices.
- Design Engineers: Design Engineers are tasked with creating product concepts and designs. The course helps them incorporate sustainability considerations into their design processes, while also ensuring a healthy lifecycle of the products in which they are designing.
- Product Managers: Product Managers oversee the development and launch of products. Understanding sustainable system-level design is crucial for aligning products with sustainability goals.
- Project Managers: Project Managers responsible for engineering projects will benefit from understanding how sustainability considerations can impact project timelines and outcomes.
- Engineering Managers: Engineering Managers can use the insights from the course to guide their teams in adopting sustainable design practices.
- Sustainability Managers or Officers: Professionals responsible for sustainability initiatives within organizations benefit from this course by gaining insights into how sustainability can be integrated into system-level design.
