I know – not the most profound insight or the most original.\u00a0 I think I am finally beginning to understand the relationship between the two after studying all this Lean Six Sigma and Design Six Sigma stuff.\u00a0 Agile is simply a co-evalent instance of the Lean concepts and principles applied to software development. \u00a0 I don\u2019t think there really is a \u201cLean software development\u201d – it is just \u201cLean applied to software development\u201d.<\/p>\n

While I respect the\u00a0Poppendiecks<\/a>, and they have been thinking about this WAY longer than I have, I think\u00a0Lean software development<\/a>\u00a0misses the mark.\u00a0 IMO, they have tried too hard to build the bridge from\u00a0Lean manufactoring<\/a>\u00a0to the software world.\u00a0 It seems to me that some of the subtleties of Lean are lost with the Poppendiecks\u2019s books,\u00a0Lean Software Development\u00a0and\u00a0Implementing Lean Software Development.<\/p>\n

OK, that is a serious charge to make against some of the most respected thoughtleaders on Lean software development by a guy who has, admittedly, not that much experience with Lean.\u00a0\u00a0 Now, it is\u00a0very\u00a0<\/strong>likely I am completely misundertanding their writings or what they are saying has evolved from their writings. \u00a0 What is missing from their writings is much of the innovation the Lean Six Sigma and Design for Six Sigma world has brought to the table.\u00a0\u00a0Alan Shalloway\u00a0seems to be pushing the Lean envelope further than the Poppendiecks.\u00a0 I think that he gets there is really no such this as Lean software development, but that it is all just Lean.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
