Lean Software Development

It's time to re-think our approach to software development processes, our perception of the people who create software, and our governance systems. This two-day workshop led by Mary and Tom Poppendieck, presents an alternative framework for thinking about developing software-intensive systems - one based on Lean principles and focused on innovation.

1. How to discover what customers really want.
2. Who should design/engineer solutions to customer problems.
3. How to look at your process from a customer's point of view and identify waste.
4. What's wrong with software testing and what you have to do to fix it.
5. What organizational structures are most likely to foster innovation.
6. Scheduling strategies that permit confident promise-dating and reliable delivery.
7. Tools for problem solving that everyone in the organization can use.
8. Leadership roles that work - from the perspective of followers.
