David Anderson invited us to speak at the first
Lean Software and Systems Conference in Atlanta
from April 21st to 23rd 2010. We'll be talking about our evolving
'system' for software product development, which David saw when he
visited us at BSkyB , and more.
That was nearly two years ago. Since then we've continued to
develop the approach and techniques, applying it more recently on a
project with a couple of consultants from the
Womack and Jones
crew at the
Lean
Enterprise Academy .
Here's the abstract for our session:
Product Development in the Land of
the Free
The Test-driven Organization
Creating and sustaining a 'system' for effective product
development is neither easy nor commonplace. If we were to pull
together the lessons we've learned from eXtreme Programming and
Scrum with systems approaches such as Lean Thinking and the Theory
of Constraints to build such a 'system' what would it look like?
Where would we start? How would we organize ourselves? And what
would be our approach?
The fact that so many information technology projects are still
failing tells us that we should be doing something very different.
This session will explore some of the things we've been doing
beyond the agile comfort zone to improve the effectiveness and
throughput of product development and realize business agility.
