APPLYING Lean Principles
• Make Work Visible
• Limit WIP
• Reduce Batch Sizes
• Reduce the Number of Handoffs
• Continuously Identify and Elevate Constraints
• Eliminate Waste

15. @antweiss
Types Of Waste in Software Delivery
• Partially Done Work
• Extra Processes
• Extra Features
• Task Switching (Up to 50% loss in productivity)
• Waiting
• Motion
• Defects
• Non-standard or Manual Work
• Heroics
