Exceptional Read & Introduction to Lean/IPD/LPS. Tim Tuohy's book is an
exceptional read. This book provides significant insight-and a clear
pathway-to assist Lean-oriented project managers in their development of
a collaborative team, breaking out and defining work, establishing
requisite levels of team and participant commitment, proactively
identifying and overcoming constraints/roadblocks, developing smooth
handoffs, etc. to ensure "predictable uninterrupted workflows". The Lean
Integrated Project Delivery approaches espoused emphasize defining and
delivering product value, while consistently detecting and removing
process waste. Tuohy's book will help you understand what it means-and
how to-"really, really collaborate", with a goal of enabling you and
your project team to get project work done "Easier, Better, Faster and
Cheaper... Every step of the way, every day, every week, every meeting,
and always." Mark R. Wademan, PMP, PMI-ACP, CSM, PSM/PSPO, ITIL, MBA,
