to the process of product development to achieve breakthrough
results.

Target Audience and Outcomes:
This workshop is targeted toward engineering teams and
engineering process managers. It is also appropriate

engineering and who would be included in any cross-functional
team deploying Lean Product Development techniques.

Participants receive a three-ring binder with all presentation
slides. While this workshop can be used in a stand-alone
