Description
Concept of LEAN
It is an adaptation of lean manufacturing principles (e.g., the Toyota Production System) to software development. It focuses on eliminating waste, maximizing customer value, optimizing resources, and continuously improving.
Functions
How does it help us?
The role of Lean methodology in digital development focuses on maximizing value for the customer while minimizing waste within the development process. In other words, Lean seeks to do more with less, optimizing resources, time, and effort, and focusing solely on what truly adds value for the end user.
- Eliminate waste
- Optimize processes
- Deliver value quickly
- Constant learning
Steps by LEAN
1. Identify value 2. Map the value stream 3. Create flow4. Establish the Pull system5. Pursue perfection (continuous improvement)
The LEAN methodology applied to digital development focuses on maximizing value and minimizing waste in the processes of creating software or digital products. Its main stages can be summarized in the following steps:
Advantages
Waste reduction: Unnecessary activities, features, and processes are eliminated, optimizing time and resources. Higher efficiency: By focusing on continuous flows and what the customer truly needs, the team works in a more organized and faster way. Flexibility and adaptability: Allows adjustments based on user feedback, avoiding investment in unnecessary features. Continuous improvement: Frequent review cycles promote innovation and product quality. Customer-focused: The entire process is aimed at delivering real value, increasing user satisfaction.
Disadvantages
Requires discipline and organizational culture: Without team commitment and strong leadership, maintaining efficiency and eliminating waste can be difficult. Results can be hard to measure initially: Focusing on intangible value may make traditional productivity metrics less accurate. Not always suitable for very large or rigid projects: In highly structured or regulated environments, Lean’s flexibility may be limited. Dependence on customer feedback: Without constant access to the end user or client, it is difficult to prioritize what is truly valuable.
Origin LEAN
Place of creation: Japan Industry: Automotive, specifically at Toyota Time period: 1940s–1970s
Key Develpers
Taiichi Ohno – Industrial engineer at Toyota, considered the main creator of the Toyota Production System (TPS), which became the foundation of Lean. He focused on eliminating waste, improving efficiency, and streamlining production processes. Eiji Toyoda – President of Toyota, who supported innovations in production methods and emphasized quality, efficiency, and continuous improvement. Shigeo Shingo – Manufacturing consultant who developed practical techniques for reducing waste and improving workflow, including concepts like poka-yoke (error-proofing).
Core Principles Developed
Elimination of waste (Muda): Removing anything that does not add value to the customer. Continuous improvement (Kaizen): Constantly improving processes, quality, and efficiency. Just-in-time production: Producing only what is needed, when it is needed. Respect for people: Involving workers in problem-solving and decision-making.
Origin LEAN
Place of creation: United States Time period: Early 2000s Key Developers / Founders: In 2001, 17 software developers created the Agile Manifesto in Snowbird, Utah, focusing on lightweight, flexible software development. Key names include: Kent Beck (Extreme Programming) Martin Fowler (software engineering expert) Robert C. Martin (“Uncle Bob”) Others who contributed to the Agile Manifesto principles
Functions
How does it help us?
- Frequent deliveries of functional software that adds value to the customer as quickly as possible. - Better communication and collaboration between teams and with the customer. - Risk reduction by dividing work into smaller parts. - Greater transparency, continuous improvement. - Improved customer satisfaction.
Comparison with LEAN
Both Lean and Agile emphasize value, efficiency, and continuous improvement. Lean focuses more on eliminating waste and optimizing flow, while Agile focuses on flexibility, iterations, and customer collaboration.
Core Principles
Individuals and interactions over processes and tools Working software over comprehensive documentation Customer collaboration over contract negotiation Responding to change over following a fixed plan
Disadvantages
Requires discipline: Teams must be highly organized and self-managing. Can be hard to predict costs and timelines: Flexible scope may affect planning. Dependent on customer involvement: Frequent feedback is necessary for success. Not ideal for very large, rigid projects: Some organizations need strict documentation and approval processes.
Advantages
Flexibility and adaptability: Easy to adjust to changing requirements. Faster delivery: Small increments allow users to receive usable features quickly. Improved collaboration: Close communication between team members and stakeholders. Higher customer satisfaction: Frequent feedback ensures the product meets real needs. Continuous improvement: Iterative cycles help refine both the product and the development process.
Description
Concept of AGILE
Agile is a flexible and iterative approach to software and digital product development. It emphasizes customer collaboration, adaptive planning, and delivering small, incremental improvements quickly rather than following a rigid, long-term plan.
Testing / Quality Assurance
- Continuous testing is performed during the sprint to catch defects early.
Review / Demo
- Completed work is demonstrated to stakeholders.
- Feedback is gathered for improvement in the next iteration.
Retrospective / Continuous Improvement
- Teams reflect on what went well and what could be improved.
- Process adjustments are applied to future sprints.
Steps by AGILE
Agile is often implemented through frameworks like Scrum, Kanban, or XP (Extreme Programming). The main stages in a typical Agile cycle are: Concept / Vision Identify the product vision and goals. Gather initial requirements from stakeholders and users. Planning Break down the work into small, manageable tasks (often called user stories). Prioritize tasks based on business value and user needs. Iteration / Development Work is completed in short cycles called sprints (typically 1–4 weeks). Teams design, develop, and test small increments of the product.
