Using Slack for Lean Product Development
De facto standard for workplace communication — most PMs will use Slack daily, and it appears constantly in job descriptions. When combined with Lean Product Development, this makes Slack a strong candidate for teams who want a structured, repeatable workflow without sacrificing flexibility. Lean Product Development works best in Slack when you leverage its analytics dashboard to implement the framework's key practices directly in the tool your team already lives in.
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
