Get started

You can be up and running in under five minutes. This chapter walks you through the three things you do once — sign up, set up your workspace, open your first assignment — so that everything in the rest of the guide has somewhere to land.

What you'll do in this chapter.

Create an account

Email + password, or one-click with Apple or Google.

Name your workspace

A workspace (org) is where your projects and team live.

Open an assignment

An assignment is one DMAIC project — give it a problem statement and you’re in.

Step-by-step

From cold start to your first project.

  1. 1

    Sign up

    Head to web.leanprojax.co, click Get started, and either use email + password or sign in with Apple or Google. You'll land in your new workspace immediately — no email-verification gating during the pilot.

  2. 2

    Name your workspace

    A workspace (also called an organisation) is the container for your projects, team members, and billing. Most companies have one; consultancies sometimes have a workspace per client. Either is fine.

    You can rename the workspace later under Settings → Organisation.

  3. 3

    Create your first assignment

    From the dashboard, click + New assignment. Give it a clear name (something a teammate would recognise in a list) and one or two sentences that state the problem you're investigating. That's enough to start — every other field can be filled in as you go.

  4. 4

    Save and open it

    Hit Create and LeanProjax takes you straight into the assignment's DMAIC editor with the Define tab open. You're done with setup — every chapter from here on operates inside one of your assignments.

Glossary so far

Words you'll see again and again.

Workspace / Organisation

The container for your work. Your team, your projects, your billing — all scoped to one workspace. Most users belong to just one.

Assignment

One DMAIC project, one problem to solve. It owns the charter, the data you collect, every toolkit run you do, the executive summary, and the PDF report.

DMAIC

The five phases every assignment moves through — Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control. You'll see them as tabs across the top of every assignment.
