Anyone Knows Lean Software Development

I’m not sure this contribution will serve for “research” purposes, but here it is. My perception is that Lean itself is unlikely to improve the writing of code, unless the code itself is going to contribute to some form of lean implementation.However, the methods of Lean can be used to manage the flow of projects. Many organizations use “push” processing to start a ton of projects, all of which spend most of their time in queue at various process junctures. Lean can help organizations develop objective ways to sequence and assign projects. Ultimately, a lean software shop should be able to deliver more projects at higher quality, than a shop using “push” methods.

If your interested in Lean Software Development, then you need to explore http://www.poppendieck.com/. This site is for Mary and Tom Poppendieck, who are by most accounts the leading source for Agile / Lean development.

I agree.  Also consider Scrum.  The impetus for the agile manifesto and agile software development methods arose from lean thinking.  I’ve worked with organizations that put a lot of effort into value stream mapping and other lean techniques to reduce waste in their waterfall SDLC and management oversight focussed PM processes.  They just didn’t get it.  Agile is lean.
