In today's context, most organizations undertake their activities in form of contracts. However, literature indicates that most projects fail due to improper project management. The need to remain competitive and improve market share has forced project-oriented organizations to outsource effective ways to improve their project productivity in terms of efficiency and effectiveness by integrating lean thinking in project management. In this study, five key concepts of lean have been identified as being relevant in project management. These include specifying customer value, identifying value stream, flow, pull and continuous improvement. These concepts improve project productivity by helping to isolate value-adding activities from non-value adding ones, sequencing activities, removing project obstacles and wastes.
