Shortly after leading my first Six Sigma process improvement project, which involved my constructing of software to automate client business processes, I came across this book by the Poppendiecks. At the time, the integration of Lean and Six Sigma seemed to be picking up steam, and rather than reading a general text on Lean, getting a better understanding of how to apply Lean to software development seemed to make sense. In reading through this book, although Lean and Six Sigma (now often called ... Read More
Rating:  - The Best Introduction I've Read
It's pretty much all been said by previous reviewers but this one is worth another accolade. As a CIO with over 20 years in software engineering, I've just about read it all, seen it all, tried it all.

Rating:  - Unimpressed
I found nothing concrete or useful in this book. It is loaded with interesting anecdotes but they're vague with regard to execution and follow through. The success stories generally end with the release date. Never mind the poor slobs who had to maintain whatever was slapped together at the last minute.
Rating: - Recommended
This book is excellent. Both Mary and Tom compares the software development with other fields of production. I've to say that if the steps planted in this book are followed seriously, your company will be great.
Rating: - What is lean and why do you care in software?
Think lean, be lean, but don't copy manufacturing verbatim. An excellent foundation for understanding basic lean concepts and how they do and do not cross-pollinate in the software evolution world. Follow this reading up with the second book in this series by Poppendieck.. "From concept to cash".
This is a stellar book.
