The lean-stack take
For a lean team the pages give ready-made forms for problem solving and process work. Teams download an A3, DMAIC, PDCA, kaizen or value stream mapping template and fill it in with their own data.
Best for
Small lean teams that want free A3, DMAIC, PDCA and value stream mapping forms in Office formats.
Watch out for
The downloads are static files, so check whether you need shared tracking of actions, which would mean a paid Smartsheet plan or another tool.

What Smartsheet Lean Templates offers
Lean Six Sigma collection
A free Lean Six Sigma templates page gathers forms for lean and Six Sigma projects in one place. It is the starting point for most lean teams.
A3 and kaizen report forms
Smartsheet offers A3 templates in several formats, Word A3 templates and an A3 kaizen report PDF. A kaizen event report form covers rapid improvement events.
DMAIC templates
A DMAIC page offers project charters, plans and reports. These support each step of a Six Sigma project.
Root cause analysis forms
Fishbone diagram templates come in Word, Excel and PowerPoint, and 5 Whys forms come as PDFs. A root cause analysis collection and problem statement templates sit alongside them.
PDCA forms
A PDCA page offers templates, forms and examples, including a PDCA form PDF. Teams use it to plan a change and check the result.
Value stream mapping templates
Value stream mapping templates come in several formats, including Excel. A step-by-step guide on creating a value stream map sits next to them.
Kanban cards and SIPOC diagrams
Free kanban card templates support pull systems on the shop floor. SIPOC diagram templates help a team scope a process before mapping it.
Template sets inside Smartsheet
Smartsheet also lists a Lean Six Sigma template set in its template gallery and marketplace. These run inside the Smartsheet app rather than as downloads.
