Introduction of Lean Project Management (LPM) principles for government work

Introduction
The memo highlights the enactment of the LPM principles in a major project management
consultancy. The stakeholders of this consultancy can understand the effectiveness of the LPM
principles using this memo. There are different types of LPM principles such as the identification of
the value of the needs and requirements of government projects (Chowdary, Ojha & Alexander,
2018). The value of the products and the service offered by this organization can be significantly
impacted using the LPM principles. The value stream mapping and the other business exercises of
this organization can be purposefully accomplished using the LPM principles.
Every commercial organization has lots of waste products in their production rooms which is a
significant business loss for them, the incorporation of the LPM principles can help these
organizations to reduce the waste generation (Cromwell et al., 2018).
The cross-functional areas of the business organizations can also be tracked and monitored using
the LPM principles. The inventory control of the business organizations can also be improved using
the Lean Project Managemt principles. It can be said that the perception of lean thinking is very
closely related to the Lean Project Management principles which can be utilized in business
organizations to look after the quality of service offered by the commercial organizations. The next
segment of the the memo will be very much important to understand the background scenario.
Background
This consultancy employed to work mainly on the private sectors as it had less complexities
and criteria as compared with the complex government projects. It can be said that the complexity
of the government project are much higher than the non-governmental projects. The most
significant issue of the government project is the management of the available resource which can
be successfully addressed using the LPM principles. Scheduling and time management is the other
complexity associated with most of the government ventures which can be purposefully addressed
using the LPM principles (de Resende et al., 2018). These Lean principles be very much important

for this organization as it will help them to address the complexities of government ventures (de
Sousa Jabbour et al., 2018). Addressing the complaints coming from the consumers of the
government project is also a source of concern for this major project management consultancy,
which can be effectively solved with the help of the Lean Project management principles. Both the
technological issues, as well as the human problems of the government projects, can also be
addressed using the LPM principles (Hicks et al., 2018). The following unit of the paper will be
highlighting the thesis of the memo.

The next segment of the paper will be discussing the outline of this memo.

The primary reason of the enactment of the LPM principles in a major consultancy will be
introduced in the initial phase of this memo. The following unit of the paper will be discussing the
extent of the factors and the impact of the LPM principles on the government ventures. CSF which
is important to be considerded during the implementation of the LPM principles will be discussed
in a tabular format. This memo will discuss the step-wise implementation procedure of the LPM

of the Lean project principles in this consultancy. Thus, based on the above discussion it can be said
that the transparency maintained in this project management consultancy will be very much
beneficial for both the non-technical and technical workforces of the consultancy.
Initial reasons for implementing LPM
The board of director of this major project management consultancy wants the organization
to work on the government ventures. However, based on investigation it was found that the existing

business approach of this consultancy was not enough to work on government projects (Isack et al.,
2018). Thus, the board of director want to incorporate the lean principles in this organization so that
each of the stakeholders can understand the advantage provided by the LPM principles. The
implementation of lean principles can have a huge impact on this major consultancy as the as it
would help them to deal with adverse business conditions and other complicated issues such as
customer interaction and inflation.
Business laws of the country are getting frequently updated, this issue can be decisively addressed
using the LPM principles. LPM principles can be helpful for this major consultancy to deal with the
legal issues such as management of the stringent rules and regulations of the trade organizations
(Bamana, Lehoux & Cloutier, 2019). The value of products and service offered by this consultancy
can also be enhanced using the LPM principles. Like every other business organization, this project
management consultancy also generates huge amount of waste materials in their production rooms,
which can be solved in an ordered way using the lean principles. The budget and the planning
related issues of complex government ventures might be dealt in a professional manner in
accordance with the lean principles (Liu et al., 2018). The government works will surely help this
organization to grow in the competitive market, however, it can also be said that the enactment of
the LPM principles can help this consultancy to grow among all the consultancies who are already
working on the bigger government ventures. The expectation of the consumers of the government
projects are much higher than the non-governmental projects, and the incorporation of the LPM
principles can be very much important for this organization to meet the expectations of the
consumers of the government projects. Quality of Service (QoS) of this major project management
consultancy can be successful enhanced if the lean doctrines are successfully instigated in the
business environment of this consultancy.

of this big consultancy. It can be said that both the professional development of the workers of this
commercial organization as well as the organizational growth can be achieved after the efficacious
enactment of the lean principles (Martínez-Jurado & Moyano-Fuentes, 2018). Scope management
and value the value stream can be the other significant factors regarding the enactment of the LPM
principles (Psomas, Antony & Bouranta, 2018). Bottlenecks issues is a major problem in most of
the project management organizations and the LPM principles can successfully address this
particular issue (Sartal, Martinez-Senra & Cruz-Machado, 2018). It can be argued that statistical
thinking might be very much useful for the managers of this commercial organization to deal with
the complexities of government projects. All the business inconsistencies can be successfully
identified and resolved after the enactment of the LPM principles.
The government
The project management of the government issues are much more critical than the non-
governmental projects, thus each of the internal as well as the external stakeholders must be taking
all the precautionary steps to address the situations they might face when the organization starts
