The editors at Solutions Review have compiled this list of the best Lean Six Sigma courses on LinkedIn Learning that IT professionals should consider if theyre looking to grow their skills.

Lean Six Sigma is a methodology that seeks to improve business performance. Unlike Business Process Management (BPM), Lean Six Sigma does so by tracking/decreasing process variability and defects within those processes. As a combination of two powerful process improvement methods: Lean and Six Sigma, this practice has the ability to remove any waste or redundancy from a process. Unlike BPM, Lean Six Sigma approaches business processes from an analytical point of view and aims at improving an organizations overall customer satisfaction.
