A Tale of Two Systems: Lean and Agile Software Development for Business Leaders

A Tale of Two Systems: Lean and Agile Software Development for Business Leaders reviews two fictional systems development projects. One project proves to be an abject and expensive failure, while the other succeeds in creating a major new revenue stream and solving important customer needs. Contrasting the methods employed in a traditional, process-centric 'waterfall' approach, with a lean and agile-inspired approach, this book provides business leaders with a tangible understanding of why lean thinking is so well-suited to contemporary environments requiring flexibility, speed, and the input of specialized knowledge.
