Optimize Your Software Processes with Lean
by William Krebs

[Business/Management]

Got Waste? Optimization is easy to suggest, but what tools do we use to optimize our processes? Why have some companies survived, while others have required government assistance to exist?

This recording presents some high-performance secrets from Toyota and companies that use lean techniques: queuing theory, value stream maps, root cause analysis, leveraging the mind of each worker, evolving standards, timing decisions, what to NOT measure, and preventing churn. It also looks at what obstacles can ruin good ideas for improvement. 

While the author presents lean principles that apply to many business areas, specific examples are given that apply lean principles to software development practices.

This audio recording of a 60-minute teleseminar will introduce lean concepts to managers in a way that will challenge conventional thinking.
