Lean Software Product Development: Accelerating Learning and Innovation, Eliminating Waste

Executives are often excited about Lean Product Development because of the bottom-line results this approach has been shown to deliver (up to 4 x R&D productivity, 70% schedule reduction, etc.) With industry leaders like Wipro using Lean, and a recent McKinsey whitepaper recommending it to CIOs, Lean is now becoming more mainstream.

In this session we will discuss powerful Lean practices that help executives focus their people more on results-oriented innovation and less on just following a process. We will then show how this knowledge-driven approach results in better products and processes.

Audience:

This session is aimed at a Director and VP-level audience in organizations with several development teams.
