Product Description

From the Back Cover

Winner Of The 2007 Shingo Prize For Excellence In Manufacturing Research!

Lean production, which has radically benefited traditional manufacturing, can greatly improve the software industry with similar methods and results. This transformation is possible because the same overarching principles that apply in other industries work equally well in software development. The software industry follows the same industrial concepts of production as those applied in manufacturing; however, the software industry perceives itself as being fundamentally different and has largely ignored what other industries have gained through the application of lean techniques.

Lean Software Strategies: Proven Techniques for Managers and Developers, shows how the most advanced concepts of lean production can be applied to software development and how current software development practices are inadequate.

Written for software engineers, developers, and leaders who need help creating lean software processes and executing genuinely lean projects, this book draws on the personal experiences of the two authors as well as research on various software companies applying lean production to software development programs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Way forward for software engineering, 6 April 2007
By Peter Watson (London, England) - See all my reviews
This book won the elite Shingo Prize for excellence in March 2007. It shows how lean manufacturers with a large software component in their products can use the same lean techniques to manage their software. Companies such as Lockheed Martin and General Electric are working on adopting this.

It takes Agile techniques to a higher level of scalability and rigor. It introduces software people to a whole new way of looking at their problems.
