Lean Object-Oriented Software Development

摘要

The principal concepts of lean manufacturing -eliminate waste, standardize work, produce zero defects, and institute one-piece flow - are well known and accepted because they promote agility, responsiveness to customer demands, and profitability. But they are not often applied to the large and rapidly expanding world of software development, despite many parallels and the high costs of software failures. Successfully applying lean techniques to object-oriented software development requires a careful analysis of suitability and often an expensive and time-consuming transformation to lay the groundwork. Results are not immediately apparent, so patience and commitment are needed.
