What makes LPS take hold with some teams and not others? How can a team recognize the benefits of LPS? How do teams adapt LPS to meet their needs? How does a team avoid LPS becoming extra work?

The answer is, begin with the end in mind and understand the cause and effect relationships that drive project processes. LPS is a system of integrated conversations that was designed based on process laws, pull as a process management method and continuous improvement. The three process laws, which for simplicity we will call the law of batching, the law of bottlenecks and the law of variation, explain the cause and effect relationships between how we manage a project and the results we get. Understanding these laws explains why the goal of LPS is reliable workflow, how pull methods of management support that goal, and how that goal connects to project success.

This knowledge unlocks the potential of LPS, aligns the project team, and allows the team to adapt LPS to meet the needs of the project. Team members see how LPS is a replacement for, not a supplement to their work so it never becomes busywork. Team members quickly recognize when tools and activities they are using are not supporting the LPS goal and make adjustments.

In this webinar, we will briefly explain the production laws, pull methods, and continuous improvement and as we go, link them to each level of LPS.

All the teams I have seen be highly successful with LPS developed a good understanding of the basis and goals for the LPS System
