Agile, OOP... are like good hygiene in the kitchen, it results in meals with consistent quality and predictable prep and service times. It doesn't result in great meals nor substantially impact the ROI! Lean Thinking clearly shows that the only way to make a significant impact is to improve the value chain by improving flow. If everyone is following best practices no one has competitive advantage. Major improvements in the value chain depend on continued disruptive innovations. Innovations leverage people and their ideas. We use case studies to illustrate the different business and technical innovations and their impact. We conclude with a discussion of how to build and leverage an innovation culture versus a sprint death march when dealing with high value time to market projects.

Process Driven Development
Lean and Agile in the Large works but
• 10-15% improvement in productivity, 25 %+ quality,
little change in productivity
• Seldom has the Impact or Agility expected by
executives!
• Encourages micro improvements, rather than high
impact changes! Sprinting to Technical Debt..
• Biased to tools and technologies of the past!
• Systemic change expensive to implement and sustain!
You can’t lead using yesterdays process from someone
else! Process lags best practice by 3 – 5 years!
A generic solution is very seldom as effective as a
strong specific solution
We have great confidence in your abilities to meet our competitive
challenges. Hence we have given you Objects, Agile, Tools,
Hardware, New Offices, Mentors because we believe you need these
to do your best. Here is what the business needs from you:
1. We need to be much faster in selecting and executing high value
projects.
2. We need to turn up the dials on productivity while maintaining
quality and features.
CEO – All Hands Challenge
As long as we keep building software the same way as everyone else
were have no competitive advantage.
…. THIS ISYOUR MISSION…* THIS MESSAGE WILL SELF DESTRUCT IN
30 SECONDS….
* Mission Impossible
