Visual Project Objectives
From fuzzy idea to clear project focus
Write a product brochure, survey your stakeholders, map opportunities, run a pre-mortem, and see where every product sits in your portfolio — all in one guided pipeline.
The Visual Project Objectives pipeline turns product ambiguity into a clear value story, validated by stakeholders, stress-tested for risk, and ready to prioritise alongside your portfolio.
Each tool is built around a specific decision — giving your team a structured way to move from uncertainty to informed action.
Write a product brochure, survey your stakeholders, map opportunities, run a pre-mortem, and see where every product sits in your portfolio — all in one guided pipeline.
Design a strong, decision-focused experiment with Toolman Tim. Define your hypothesis, method, and success criteria — guided step by step.
Toolman Tim scores your launch system across 8 dimensions — from product buildability and value-stream design to layout, start-up discipline, and learning. Strongest signal, biggest gap, three next moves.
Standalone lessons on Lean Product & Process Development — each one covers a concept, applies it to your work, and tests your understanding. Chapter intro videos are free. Module content requires a subscription.

A practical guide to Lean Product & Process Development — shared language, core mental models, and plays you can use with your team today.
Section 1: Lean PPD Playbook — 10 chapters on strategy, discovery, design, and flow. Section 2: Lean 3P Industrialization Playbook — 6 chapters on concurrent engineering from concept to vertical start‑up. Section 3: Lean Learning Cycles Playbook — 7 chapters on building knowledge before deciding.
Free practitioner guides that explain the core ideas behind LPPD and Lean 3P — what they are, the problems they solve, and how to get started.
The full system in one page: what LPPD is, the problem it solves, core principles, and where to read more in the playbook and e-learning library.
What Lean 3P is, when to use 3P vs. kaizen, the 4-phase industrialization flow, and a practical path for a first-time team.
How Lean 3P connects to product development — Design 3P, Process 3P, Production 3P — and the 4-phase flow that links them across an LPPD programme.
Short, structured learning loops that convert uncertainty into validated knowledge. The 7 building blocks, when to use them, and how to run your first cycle.
How to see the flow of work, decisions, and knowledge through your product development system — and how to design it for speed and learning.
How K-Briefs, knowledge-based milestones, trade-off curves, and obeya turn development into a system that learns — not just delivers.
Why sustainable design keeps failing — and how to fix it. Keep all five domains open simultaneously, learn before you narrow, and use the Planet-Based A3 (Stages A–E) and material candidate rubric to converge on the right solution.
What LPPD is, the six guiding principles, a development value stream spine, a minimal Obeya layout, and a 4–6 week practice guide — everything a team needs to start applying LPPD this month.
