This document discusses 10 tools to become more lean and agile in software development. It outlines various lean concepts like eliminating waste (muda), uneven workflow (mura), and overburdened processes (muri). Specific tools covered include daily stand-ups, visualization of work, regular retrospectives, limiting work-in-progress, real options planning, rolling wave planning, and the Pomodoro technique. The overall message is that adopting these lean and agile tools can help organizations continuously improve, focus on delivering value, and eliminate inefficiencies in their development processes.

15. The Pomodoro
25 Minutes of pure focus
Count how many you can do
Learn how much you can do

16. Be Sustainable
After 8 hours you produce
more bugs than features

17. Limit WIP...

18. ... To go fast!

20. Real Options
Requirements’ value change over time!

21. Rolling Wave Planning

24. Tools as Thinking patterns
Let’s see... Hmmm, Do I
have to call it a stand-

have to stand up during
our meetings?
Maybe, what I want is
just to have short

participants? How can I
get that?
