3.1.5 PM Backbone

Introduction

Having something as simple as a reasonably high level PM Navigation Meeting requires an underlying PM Backbone / Framework before it can occur.

PM vs. Lionsberg Integrated Delivery

The Lionsberg System draws from multiple triangulated and proved fields to create a hybrid System that retains the best elements and capabilities of:

• Lean Integrated Program Delivery from AEC Industry
• Product Management / Agile from Tech Industry
• Lean Manufacturing Principles ...

...While simultaneously offering significant new capabilities and benefits in the context of a single integrated system designed to produce Throughput of The Goal across a global community / Federation.

To function optimally, the System encourages each Team to implement and continuously improve at least a basic PM Backbone.
