Lean Software Development

Practitioners' Workshop

As global competitiveness comes to the software development industry, the search is on for a better way to create first-class software rapidly, repeatedly, and reliably.  Lean initiatives in manufacturing, logistics, and services have led to dramatic improvements in cost, quality and delivery time; can they do the same for software development?  The short answer is “Absolutely!” 

Of the many methods that have arisen to improve software development, Lean is emerging as one that is grounded in decades of work understanding how to make processes better.  Lean thinking focuses on giving customers what they want, when and where the want it, without a wasted motion or wasted minute. 

This intensive two day workshop aimed at senior developers and team leads, and will help you apply lean principles such as Rapid Response, Constant Learning, Built-in Quality, Local Responsibility and Global Optimization to software development.
