AReducing delays

BImplementing objective measures of progress

CEnsuring respect for people and culture

DMoving to an iterative development process

Suggested Answer: A

Lean Thinking is a philosophy that aims to create value for customers by eliminating waste and unnecessary steps in company processes. One of the main sources of waste is delay, which can be caused by long lead times, large batch sizes, excessive inventory, poor quality, and lack of coordination. Reducing delays can improve customer satisfaction, increase efficiency, and lower costs. Lean Thinking is based on two pillars: respect for people and continuous improvement. Respect for people means empowering and engaging employees, customers, and stakeholders to participate in problem-solving and innovation. Continuous improvement means constantly seeking ways to improve the process and the product by applying the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle and the scientific method.Reference:Lean-Agile Mindset - Scaled Agile Framework,Lean Thinking: Overview, Principles, Benefits, & Applications Explained,The Focus of Lean - Collin College,What is Lean? - Project Management Institute
