Lean Thinking

Lean agile aims to eliminate wasteful resources and tasks for improved efficiency and reduced costs, while never sacrificing quality.

In fact, lean agile prioritizes bringing value to the customer with every decision that's made.

Lean agile is a development method that helps teams identify waste and refine processes.

The way of eliminating wastes are:

The figure of the Product Owner represents a clever way to speed up the flow of information between the customer and the developers. This reduces the risk of rework that so often appears in non-scrum development projects. 

Lean teaches us that each leader (Scrum Maser) must be in constant contact with his team and know each member well enough to understand the problems they encounter each day. This enables flow and therefore customer satisfaction.

Having cross-functional teams, lean tells us, allows for a quick flow of information, because waiting for the contribution of a team member from another function doesn’t happen.

In lean thinking, people must be empowered to solve problems and improve the work, because they are the ones who are closest to the process.

From a lean point of view, a checklist should be managed by the Product Owner in order to make sure everything is done according to client needs. In lean thinking we often talk about making sure that all information is “complete and correct” going forward.

Lessons learned in Project Management

Lessons learned in Project Management Lessons learned (it may be +ve or -ve) in project management are the knowledge gained during a project that can be used to improve future performance.
