I have an allergic reaction to things like PMP certifications, Lean Six Sigma etc. They are religions, and the certifications are theology certifications/purity tests. Take a bunch of academic things without crediting sources, wrap in bullshit packaging, add some theology, sell

They didn't help solve real problems as much as they provided a framework for different disciplines within an org to work together.

Yeah, artificial common language sold as something much more. Most such things could be replaced with a glossary, list of reference readings, and a cocktail party.

Yes that, but also a commonly understood way of describing a path forward on a project. The unspoken drag of "where are we going with all this...? Finance, marketing and technical don't necessarily share a common view.

PMP and LSS are project based. Business success is not directly related to the sum of the successful projects minus the costs of the failed ones. The view of the project as the unit is weak.

While the management is committed, LSS creates a safe space for teams to work. Safe space doesn't guarantee results but gives a boost to efforts. LSS doesn't address all the issues an org has. If used as a magic bullet 1 /2
