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
