Lean Software Development
PRINCIPLES THINKING TOOLSEliminateWaste
The seven wastes of software development: Incomplete Work; Handoffs; Extra Features; Delays; Relearning; Defects; Task Switching
Build Define tests not Automate all tests Continuous integrationQuality In requirements
g
Create Knowledge
Hypothesise; experiment; select best option
Mandate standards but challenge them
Focus on responding not predictingKnowledge select best option but challenge them not predicting
Defer Commitment
Architect for any new feature at any time
Code experimentally: change-tolerant
Decide at the last responsible moment
S O CDeliverFast
Speed can target cost, quality & customer needs
Optimise Cycle Time not Utilisation
Work to capacity: set a repeatable velocity
Respect thrive on commitment; Good leaders bring- Partner without People pride; trust & applause out the best in a team conflict of interestOptimise the Whole
Focus on the full value stream: concept to cash
Whole products are built by whole teams
Measure the whole; not the partsWhole stream: concept to cash built by whole teams not the parts
