Has anyone experienced Lean, Six Sigma, and “continuous improvement” in a corporate setting? Weren’t these concepts designed for factories with production lines? I think I am asking in the appropriate bowl…

I think of lean and six sigma as waterfall concepts and continuous improvement as an agile concept.

Yes. It’s just a continuous improvement mindset. No big woops

Is that real? I thought it was just from 30 Rock.

Not needed in consulting

Concepts do apply now that many older software companies are just operating as “feature factories”

SPHR exam- has anyone ever been “randomly selected” for an application audit? This just happened to me and the sheer amount of effort that is going to go into collecting all the documents almost makes me not want to follow through. Since I didn’t finish undergrad, they’re asking for a copy of my high school diploma or transcript and that itself is going to be an absolute nightmare to get hold of. Guess I’m not really looking for a solution here, just venting.
