For the last 2 days I've been at the
Agile Business Conference . After last year I
said I wasn't going to go this year but I was tempted by the
prospect of seeing
Ken Schwaber and
Mary Poppendieck again. I've heard the material
before, but they're both engaging speakers and I was pleased that
they were speaking at this conference because the audience is
primarily business and project folks rather than the techies you
get at
XP
Day .
On the whole, for me, the conference was "same old, same old" but
I still left happy. Why? Because there were 2 sessions about Lean.
First, Mary Poppendieck's keynote speech comparing Lean Product
Development and Lean Software Development. Second, experience
reports from BT and Lloyds TSB about their use of Lean. Lean needs
more exposure because more people need to know about it.
