Dear All, I have read some literature on Lean Software Development and till now i have not found much mention about Non functional requirements (performance,...
Hi There I am not very much sure how Lean addresses these issues. But my personal experience says the designers and developers should address these things...
Someone has to be responsible for the overall systems design of any complex system. In the 'lean' world, we might take a lesson from the way Toyota assigns a...
Dear Mary & Dinesh: Thanks for your insight into how to build quality into the product from the beginning. Another question which is related to this is can we...
Most testing techniques we use in lean development - Fit/Fitnesse at the acceptance level and TDD at the code development level - most certainly seem to...
I would take exception to the idea that it is not possible to know how a system will perform until it complete. In fact, when performance (or security, or...
I'm an embedded developer, and often confronted with the situation that only physical portions of a system are available. So how can I begin testing an...
Hi There It was very good example by Mary when she mentioned the Car example. Lean is basically the toyota thing. However when we think of applying it to...
One thing I forgot to mention is: Performance is not just the HIGH SPEED!! Performance is a Relative Term and should be defined based on the requirements. ...
Hi Mary, I've only had time just now to take a quick 10 minute glance, but my first impression is: Wow! I particularily like your historical review in chapter...
Wowser! The history section is incredible. And I agree, Cheaper by the Dozen is a very funny read. Have you read the sequel, Belles on their Toes? The story...

... I clicked, and I promised myself to actually read the whole thing, and not nitpick at individual verbiage. Then I read "Eli Whitney, the inventor the...

... The historical revisionism I'm trying to avoid is the idea that the local slaves who combed cotton invented it. This is indeed distracting... ;-) -- Phlip ...
The interesting thing that I learned about Whitney is that he was quite the salesman, put on big shows for effect, didn't actually deliver on promises, but...
... I sure hope you grooved-out on the PBS Nova special "Einstein's Big Idea - E=MC^2 Explained". They staged an apparently well-researched costume drama for...
... cool. I like seeing a book on lean software development that is more hands on (I liked the first one for its' index-like quality too) - I expect it will...
Bill, You wrote " From Kennedy's book (I know, not exactly a basis for talking about yours:), the argument is almost "TPS is lean. Lean is good. Toyota has an...

The Ps wrote (I paraphrase): "Our Just-in-Time system immediately and smashingly succeeded, largely because the workers designed the details, and therefore...
Dear All, I am currently pursuing MS in Computer Science and find the area of lean Software Development very interesting. But this area is itself so braod that...
... I have only read the first 3 pages so far, but I've spotted a few typos: Chapter 1, V1.1 Page 1. "In France, Honoré Blanc's work was terminated by a ...
... Can't you tell? Mary woke up in the middle of the night, and wrote all three chapters straight through, in 12 minutes, in a mild trance! Give her a break!!...
