Hi Clarke, Yes, I've definitely had experiences with books where I just didn't "get it" at the time. However, I don't think this is the case. It's much more...
Clarke you make some good points, a retrospective (what was good what needs improvement) type format would make a more balanced review. Having written in a...
Hi Clarke, I wanted to also note a few things about my review: 1. I wrote it over the weekend, but to prevent any regrets, I didn't publish it until this...

Hi guys, I'm the primary author of this book. Yes, I do read these lists, I post rarely, mostly because I am extremely overloaded -- I have a monumental task...
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention my "monumental task" (sorry, I'm trying to rush out the door to head to work). It is my job to facilitate the adoption of Lean and...
Hi Curt, Would you agree that the book re-labels practices that are agile as lean? If so why was this done? Is Boeing adopting Scrum? Cheers, Robin ... -- ...
Robin, I re-label practices that many call agile as lean all the time. And I never use Scrum-invented terms if I can avoid it. Boeing has a huge lean program,...

Alan, My interest is how Agile (rather than Lean) is being applied to DO-178B software development. If it is, what design assurance level is being deployed,...

Interesting, so we should still give huge bonus for CEOs from banks which loss a lot of money and requesting bailout and layoff the front line workers?...
Replying to Mary, Yes I have a problem with re-labeling explicitly Agile practices as Lean. The huge body of Agile literature and talent that is out there does...
Robin, I can't distinguish between Agile and Lean in software development and (to be compeltely honest) I don't know what Agile is. It wouldn't be a bad idea...
The book explicitly states that the practices it outlines are common to most Agile implementations and most Lean implementations. Lean, as a whole, has a ...
