About Lean Product Development

Lean Product Development applies Toyota Production System thinking to software: eliminate waste, reduce batch sizes, manage queues, and optimise flow from concept to customer.

•Eliminate the 7 wastes of product development (partially done work, extra features, waiting…)

•Reduce batch size to improve flow and surface defects faster

•Manage queues: long lead times are caused by large queues, not slow work

•Decide as late as possible and deliver as fast as possible
