Produktbeschreibung

This succinct book explains how you can apply the practices of Lean software development to dramatically increase productivity and quality. Based on techniques that revolutionized Japanese manufacturing, Lean principles are being applied successfully to product design, engineering, the supply chain, and now software development. With The Art of Lean Software Development, you'll learn how to adopt Lean practices one at a time rather than taking on the entire methodology at once. As you master each practice, you'll see significant, measurable results. With this book, you will:Understand Lean's origins from Japanese industries and how it applies to software developmentLearn the Lean software development principles and the five most important practices in detailDistinguish between the Lean and Agile methodologies and understand their similarities and differencesDetermine which Lean principles you should adopt first, and how you can gradually incorporate more of the methodology into your processReview hands-on practices, including descriptions, benefits, trade-offs, and roadblocksLearn how to sell these principles to managementThe Art of Lean Software Development is ideal for busy people who want to improve the development process but can't afford the disruption of a sudden and complete transformation. The Lean approach has been yielding dramatic results for decades, and with this book, you can make incremental changes that will produce immediate benefits."e;This book presents Lean practices in a clear and concise manner so readers are motivated to make their software more reliable and less costly to maintain. I recommend it to anyone looking for an easy-to-follow guide to transform how the developer views the process of writing good software."e;-- Bryan Wells, Boeing Intelligence & Security Sytems Mission System"e;If you're new to Lean software development and you're not quite sure where to start, this book will help get your development process going in the right direction, one step at a time."e;-- John McClenning, software development lead, Aclara

Autorenporträt

Curt Hibbs has always been slightly obsessed with new technologies and tracking technology trends. But he will tell you that this is simply because he is lazy, always looking for new methods and technologies to make his work easier and more productive. This led to his discovery of Ruby in 2001 (when it was still relatively unknown outside of Japan) and to his founding several highly successful Ruby open source projects. For most of his professional career, which started in the early 1970's, Curt has been a consultant to well-known companies like Hewlett Packard, Intuit, Corel, WordStar, Charles Schwab, Vivendi Universal, and more. He has also been a principal in several startups. Curt now works as a Senior Software Engineer for The Boeing Company in St. Louis.

Rezensionen

"Das Autorentrio entwickelte eine praktische und schrittweise Vorgehensweise, die sich auf Techniken beruft, die die Produktionsweisen in Japan revolutioniert haben. Die Prinzipien ließen sich schon auf Produktentwicklung, Ingenieurwesen und andere Disziplinen erfolgreich anwenden. Nun erfolgt schrittweise der Einschluss von Softwareentwicklung. Beispiele helfen Einsteigern, den Ansatz zu verstehen, ihn ein-und umzusetzen und das alles dem Management einleuchtend zu vermitteln. Knapp stellen die Autoren auch dar, wie Lean Software Development die Produktivität und Qualität erhöht." -- dotnetpro, April 2009
