Leading Lean Software Development: Results Are Not the Point

They go far beyond generic implementation guidelines, demonstrating exactly how to make lean work in real projects, environments, and companies. The Poppendiecks organize this book around the crucial concept of frames, the unspoken mental constructs that shape our perspectives and control our behavior in ways we rarely notice. For software leaders and team members, some frames lead to long-term failure, while others offer a strong foundation for success. Drawing on decades of experience, the authors present twenty-four frames that offer a coherent, complete framework for leading lean software development. Once in a while you will stumble upon the truth but most of us manage to pick ourselves up and hurry along as if nothing had happened. – Winston Churchill.

David: I developed the use of virtual Kanban systems for controlling the work that people have in progress. Bill: David, because I have a manufacturing background and I’ve worked with clients who used Kanban in manufacturing operations, I never imagined it would get applied to this environment.

David: I see it as something different! Agile methods were really sold as an all or nothing bet. KanbanFlow - Lean project management, simplified. Instant Project Visibility.

Actually, Kanban means many things. Literally, Kanban is a Japanese word that means “visual card”. At Toyota, Kanban is the term used for the visual & physical signaling system that ties together the whole Lean Production system. Most agile m­ethods such as Scrum and XP are already well aligned with lean principles. In 2004, however, David Anderson pioneered a more direct implementation of Lean Thinking and Theory of Constraints to software development. Does Kanban matter to me? Do any of these sound familiar? “We’ve done Scrum for a long time now and our process improvement has levelled off. If so, read on. How does Kanban work? There are many flavors, but the core of Kanban means: This is a direct implementation of a lean pull scheduling system.
