Explanation

In projects with high variability - typically agile or adaptive environments - Lean methods (likely intended here as 'Lean methods' rather than 'Learn methods') are the key construct for controlling costs and achieving schedule targets. Lean principles focus on eliminating waste, optimizing workflow, reducing batch sizes, and continuously improving processes. By removing non-value-adding activities and improving flow efficiency, Lean helps teams deliver more predictably even when requirements or conditions are highly variable. This aligns with PMI's Agile Practice Guide, which identifies Lean thinking as foundational to managing uncertainty and variability in projects.
