Lean3 introduces third generation Project Management

Lean3 is new thinking about Project Management. It introduces third generation Project Management inspired by Lean Manufacturing, Prince2 and Agile. 

Lean3 brings Project Management into the 21st century.  In the 20th century, Project Management practices were codified by expert authors in long text-books, and hard to put in to daily use. These 20th century practices were static, prescriptive and frozen on the page. Lean3 brings a new approach, inspired by the open source movement of the 21st century. This approach is based on dynamic, living Good Practice, proven in use and shared by communities of practice

Lean3 brings a collaborative approach to Project Management. Good Practice needs to be shared and re-used. Lean3 brings the ideas of Social Networking to Project Management practice.  Sharing drives improvement
