I mean, Lean as a methodology is meant to improve efficiency so it makes sense that they’d want to follow those principles, but the issue is (at least in my business) that people don’t actually know or understand those principles so they’re not followed well and it does just turn into random buzzwords.
In theory, project management and the push for efficiency through certain (what might seem like useless) planning measures actually does make for a smoother, better work environment. In reality, very few people understand any of it and worry more about instant results and ignore long-term plans, making any discussion of the topics totally irrelevant and useless.
I don’t know if anyone else has mentioned it yet but next time take the ibuprofen before going to bed (while still intoxicated). My friends and I always set out an ibuprofen next to the bed before drinking to remember. You’ll feel 10x better in the morning.
