Mary Poppendieck
Mary Poppendieck started her career as a process
control programmer, moved on to manage the IT department of a manufacturing
plant, and then ended up in product development, where she was both a
product champion and department manager.
Mary considered retirement 1998, but instead found
herself managing a government software project where she first encountered
the word “waterfall.” When Mary compared her experience in successful
software and product development to the prevailing opinions about how to
manage software projects, she decided the time had come for a new paradigm.
She wrote the award-winning book
Lean Software Development: An Agile Toolkit in 2003 to
explain how the lean principles from manufacturing offer a better approach
to software development.
Over the past six years, Mary has found retirement
elusive as she lectures and teaches classes with her husband Tom. Based on
their on-going learning, they wrote a second book,
Implementing Lean Software Development: From Concept to Cash
in 2006. A popular writer and speaker, Mary continues to bring fresh
perspectives to the world of software development.
