In Agile and alike I often return to Lean practices
Much has been said about Agile, but this article will not be one of them. But as a colleague asked - how do you translate "waste" into Swedish? First of all - I fall back to the old saying in Lean (Production) "Tim Woods"
T - Transports
I - Inventory
M - Material
W - Waiting
O - Over doing
O - Over production
D - Defects
S - Skills
Now, reflect for a moment: do any of these factors appear in you agile/development work?
