Mary Poppendieck at the European Lean IT Summit

When Taiichi Ohno identified the biggest waste in manufacturing as overproduction, he set out on a long journey to drive down set-up times and batch sizes so as to minimize this waste. So what is the moral equivalent of set-up time in software development? Think about it: we batch our code into long release cycles simply because there is so much overhead associated with each release. Typically a third of every release cycle is spent on integration testing and bug fixing. Is this a necessary waste? Certainly not ! In this presentation, Mary Poppendieck explained how to hunt down the biggest wastes in software development and search for their root causes.
