Editor's Notes
- Tom DeMarco: “In big companies, it’s often more acceptable to be wrong than it is to be uncertain.”
- JIM HIGHSMITH (Agile Objections) BMW uses simulations in its design process to improve car crashworthiness — 91 simulations, two real crashes, 30% improvement in design, 2.5 days per simulated crash versus 3.8 months (for simple tests) — and the 91 simulations cost less than the two real crashes. BMW engineers found that these low-cost iterations changed design processes. In fact, they found that when experiments can be done in 2.5 days rather than 3.8 months, it drastically changes how their engineers approach design. Engineers begin to practice design by experimentation rather than design by anticipation (up-front design). The BMW designers often found that the experiments taught them very quickly that their anticipatory designs were wrong.
- Light-Touch Leadership means that decision making is delegated to the lowest level possible and as many decisions as possible are delegated to the team-Poppendieck summarized this history into three styles of leadership: 1) Old “Dictator” Style: “Do it my way…”; 2) 1980s “Empowerment” Style: “Do it your way... ”; 3) Lean Style: “Follow me…and let’s figure this out together.” Within the Toyota Production System, the role of the leader is: 1.to act as a teacher; 2.to get each person to take the initiative to solve problems and improve his or her job; and 3.to ensure that each person’s job is aligned to provide value for the customer and prosperity for the company
- Remove queues and delays. Buffers.Balance demand against throughput
- Kanban process: a set of policiesKanban enable incremental changes, with reduced political risks and minimal resistance.Cadence: delivery, prioritizaton, retrospective can each have their own cadence
- Pull without input from a manager
- it isn’t easy to ignore a blocked and work on something else
