Abstract: This article presents the basics and results of applying the Lean R&D methodology in planning as a crucial tool for enhancing the success of innovative projects. By following a step-by-step process, the effectiveness of project execution is improved through a comprehensive list of key tests that increase in complexity. This approach simplifies early identification of potential issues and reduces the risk of errors during the design phase. A new lean planning method is introduced, including assessing the readiness of the designed product at the design stage based on a roadmap. It also involves analyzing the critical elements (CE) of the product and determining their current level of readiness. Additionally, a functional analysis of the CE is conducted, followed by separate planning for the development of each element. Finally, the project is checked against a set of criteria to achieve technology readiness levels (TRL+). The process of lean planning is demonstrated in the field of engine building through the case of integrated starter-generator (SG) development. Specific elements of the planning structure are considered, and a functional analysis of the SG’s CE is conducted for both internal and external primary and secondary impacts. Their interactions and control events are determined according to detailed TRL+ criteria, allowing for the reduction of technological risks, shorter project execution times, and increased efficiency in innovative technology development through the use of this planning tool
