Lean Software Development: An Agile Toolkit - The Book

 

After reading “Implementing Lean Software Development: From Concept imageto Cash”, I decided to look at the original book. It is as good as the successor. IMO reading the original one first even better than just skipping to the new version.

Mary and Tom Poppenieck have greatly captured so many aspects of software development and how to do those lean way.

  • “The world has changed, and managers need to adopt a new way of thinking. Delays, mistakes, defective workmanship, and poor service are no longer acceptable.”

    hmm... I think Edward Deming got it backward. Actually, it's the developers who think that delays, mistakes, defective workmanship and poor service are acceptable. Managers always wanted timely delivery with zero bugs. There are so many books out there that spread falsehood, half-truth and semi-acedemician purism. The trend is agile, meaning making it good enough and worry about other things later (read, refactor).
