The lean-stack take
For a lean or Six Sigma team it is a place to learn a method and pick up a form to use. Its templates cover FMEA, SIPOC, control charts, DMAIC and value stream mapping.
Best for
Lean and Six Sigma practitioners who want free reading on methods and low-effort Excel templates for project work.
Watch out for
It is a content and template site, not software for tracking projects, so check that Excel files fit how your team shares and updates its forms.
