Lazy people innovate. Continuous Deployment. Developer Productivity. Feature Injection. Outside-in. No Ifs. Behavior Driven Development. TDD Test Driven Development. Agile. A sprinkle of agile, a dash of lean. (Page 1 of 3)Whether used separately or together, agile and lean are here to stay.
Now it’s just a matter of how to describe the combination of agile and lean as a business process and how to make it fit within that business, according to experts in the processes. “The best way I can describe it is if you look at how agile and lean have been used in the last decade, and in the decade from 2000 to 2010, agile has predominantly been a software development methodology and lean has predominantly been a manufacturing process,” said Alex Adamopoulos, CEO of lean and agile consultancy emergn. “And in the next decade, which we kind of have already started, I believe they are both going to become the transformation agents in business.” Aside from defining the combination itself, organizations also have a hard time defining the best combination for the business and its projects, explained Mike Gilpin, research director at Forrester Research.
