    Construction Management: Introduction to Lean Construction" was like getting a backstage pass to the world of efficiency—turns out, there’s a method to all this construction madness! Lean principles are now etched into my mind, right next to my grocery list. Who knew we could apply such laser focus to reduce waste and boost productivity? (My snack breaks have never been leaner!) The course does a fantastic job breaking down Lean methodology, making it clear that "waste" isn’t just the leftover coffee cups around the office. The insights on optimizing workflows and value streams made me see every delay as a potential improvement area (even though I still curse the traffic). If you're in construction, this course is a must for getting lean, mean, and ready to build green! Highly recommend.
