Lean Six Sigma (LSS) at Lawrence Memorial HospitalBackground

• LSS Focuses on Process and People
• IT Project Management Focuses on Technology and People
• Both are facilitating change in processes (workflow for people doing the work)
• Methodologies and tools are very similar
• Clear leader is defined (Project Manager or Black Belt)
• Organizational authorization and support are required
• There is always a risk of scope creep

IT Project Management (PM) and Lean Six Sigma (LSS)Differences
IT Projects LSS Projects
Short-term with focus on implementing a new solution/solving a problem.
Continuous improvement process.
Have a solution in mind Have a problem in mind. Use data to determine root cause and develop the solution.
Incorporate vendor software functionality.
Spotlights variation and inefficiencies in how the work is done.
Have a prescribed schedule that includes building, testing, and training.
Look for opportunities for more rapid changes and piloting solutions on a smaller scale.

• New IT Projects should be approved based on analyzing clear DATA.
• Every IT Project should:
o Include understanding the current process.
o Identify the process changes and new functionality.
o Train starting with the process and incorporating changes in functionality.
• Control Plans are essential for any change
oOne metric to define success.
oA clear plan for monitoring and escalation.
oA clear process owner needs to be defined.

Lean Six Sigma Principles in Project ManagementSuccess

Dedicated to ...](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050306/5f6ee17c1257027a214b3e10/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
1. IT needs to be involved in Lean Six Sigma project prioritization/approval.
2. It is amazing what can be resolved when people doing the work are involved and the problem is framed as a system/process issue rather than an individual/computer problem.
3. Don’t wait for the perfect solution.
4. An IT project can be highly successful but fail miserably if the PROCESS is not understood and considered with technology changes.
