  1. Lean Software Development James Manning

  2. Outline • Lean • History of Lean • Lean Manufacturing • Lean Software Development • Where to start

  3. What is Lean? • Process of eliminating waste from within a project, process, or company.

  4. History • Toyota Production System – 1948 - 1975 • Developed by TaiichiOhno, Shigeo Shingo and EijiToyoda • Toyoda – produce automobiles for the general public of Japan. • Very similar to Henry Ford – 30 years later • Utilized Ford and W Edwards Deming • JIT production

  5. History • Toyota became one of the top 10 companies in the world • 2007 - became the largest car manufacturer • TPS Focused on eliminating three kinds of waste • Muri • Mura • Muda

  6. Muri • Overburdened/Unreasonable/Absurdity • Employees • Safety, Ergonomic - standard of work • Searching for tools – having required tools • Waiting for help – empowering the team • Equipment • Overuse • Ford – Muri and not production line

  7. Mura • Unevenness – lacking flow • Utilize resources, materials, and machinery as efficiently as possible • JIT • Pull system • Piggly Wiggly (1916) • JIT inventory

  8. Muda • Wastefulness • Broad term • Anything that Does not directly add value to the end user • Unneeded processes or steps • Unneeded equipment • Unneeded employees • Ect.

  9. Lean Manufacturing • Seven Types of Waste • Defects • Over-production • Transportation • Waiting • Inventory • Motion • Processing

  10. Implementing Lean Techniques

  11. Can this be applied to Software? • Lean Software Development • Mary Poppendieck & Tom Poppendieck • Term introduced in The Poppendiecks’ book • Titled Lean Software Development

  12. The Poppendieck’s Mary Poppendieck Tom Poppendieck • MS, MathematicsUniversity of Maryland • BS, MathematicsMarquette University • PhD, PhysicsUW – Madison • BS, PhysicsUW - Madison

  13. Principles of Lean Software Development • Eliminate Waste • Amplify Learning • Delay Commitment • Deliver Fast • Empower the Team • Build Integrity In • See the Whole

  14. Eliminate Waste Lean Software Development Lean Manufacturing • Partially Done Work • Extra Processes • Extra Features • Task Switching • Waiting • Motion • Defects • Inventory • Processing • Overproduction • Transportation • Waiting • Motion • Defects

  15. Partially Done Work • Tendency to become obsolete • Gets in the way • No idea if it will even work with the system • Bottle Neck • Ties up resources • No value to customer • Disrupts Flow

  16. Extra Processes • Do all forms of required paperwork add value? • If required • Keep it short • Keep it high level • Do it off line • Good Test – Someone is eager to use for coding, testing, or writing manuals • Strive for most efficient, effective way of transmitting information

  17. Extra Features • Feature creep • Extra features “just in case” the customer will use them • Each extra feature need to be: • Tracked • Compiled • Integrated • Tested • Maintained • Every extra feature: • Increases complexity of code • Is a possible failure point • Could be obsolete before it is used

  18. Extra Features

  19. Extra Features • Frode L. Ødegår – List for quantifying value • What percentage of functionality in your products goes mostly unused? • What percentage of functionality serves mostly to sell the product? • How much of your development budget was expended on developing these features? • Quantify performance characteristics of your product and relate these numbers to impact on the customer's performance. • Rank candidate product features and design ideas by their quantifiable impact on customer value.

  20. Task Switching • Assigning multiple people to multiple projects • A significant amount of time is wasted in the transition of tasks • More teams and projects = more interrupts • More task switching • Fastest to finish multiple projects • Do them one at a time

  21. Waiting • Common delays: • Email responses • Climbing leadership chains • Starting a project • Excessive requirements documentation • Problems: • Customer cannot visualize value early • Commitment – not waste

  22. Motion • How readily available are others to answer developer questions • Motion to walk to answer get a question answered • Lean development offices can help eliminate this waste.

  23. Defects • A defective product has little to no value to an end user • AmtWaste = (DefectImpact)(TimeUndetected) • (Large Defect)(3Hours) < (Small Defect)(3Wks) • Ways of eliminating waste: • Find defects quick • Test immediately • Integrate often • Release to production soon

  24. Eliminate Waste

  25. Principles of Lean Software Development • Eliminate Waste • Amplify Learning • Delay Commitment • Deliver Fast • Empower the Team • Build Integrity In • See the Whole

  26. Amplify Learning • 4 Tools to Amplify Learning • Feedback • Iterations • Synchronization • Set Based Development

  27. Feedback • Most effective way of dealing with troubled software projects • Types of feedback: • Run tests asap • Check out ideas by writing code (spike solution) • Prototypeinstead of more requirements • Create web front to legacy system to try it out

  28. Iterations • Full Iteration: • Designed • Programmed • Tested • Integrated • Delivered • Facts > Forecasts • More feedback from customer

  29. Synchronization • Communication with other subsystems or devices • Develop interfaces first

  30. Set Based Development Point-Based scheduling Set Based Scheduling

  31. Set-Based Development • Apply set based development to software • Develop multiple options • Communicate Constraints • Let solutions emerge

  32. Principles of Lean Software Development • Eliminate Waste • Amplify Learning • Delay Commitment • Deliver Fast • Empower the Team • Build Integrity In • See the Whole

  33. Delay Commitment • Delay = waste? • Procrastinating = waste? • Idea: • Wait until the last moment to make a critical decision • Make decision on fact rather than forecast • Large commitment not left to chance • Not always going to be easy – Customer generally wants commitment

  34. Delay Commitment • Methods of delaying commitment • Share partially complete design information. • Organize for direct, worker-to-worker collaboration. • Develop a sense of when decisions must be made. • Develop a sense of how to absorb changes • Avoid Repetition • Separate Concerns • Encapsulate Variation • Defer Implementation of Future Capabilities • Commit to Refactoring • Use Automates Test Suites

  35. Principles of Lean Software Development • Eliminate Waste • Amplify Learning • Delay Commitment • Deliver Fast • Empower the Team • Build Integrity In • See the Whole

  36. Deliver Fast • Just In Time • Feedback • Prototyping • Create value as soon as possible

  37. Empower the Team • Eliminates waste from: • Waiting • Climbing management chains • Firefighter • Prepared • No time to ask remote commanders • Anti-pattern • Empowering employees who are not trained • Employee being blamed for when things go wrong

  38. Build Integrity In Perceived Integrity Conceptual Integrity • Pleases the user without user asking • Google • All parts of the system work together – smooth well functioning • Cash vs. Credit card

  39. Build Integrity in • Boeing 777 “Working Together” Program • Fuel tank out of reach of fuel trucks caught early • Methods: • Test early • Test often • Test exhaustively • Automated tests delivered

  40. See the Whole • Look at the whole process • Mary Poppendieck • “Lean thinking suggests that optimizing individual parts almost always leads to sub-optimized overall system” • 80% of defects – how the system is developed

  41. Where to Start • Start as soon as possible • Can be applied to a project or process in progress

  42. Road Map • Marry Poppendieck • Begin Where you are • Find your biggest constraint • Envision your biggest threat • Evaluate your culture • Train • Solve the Biggest Problem • Remove Accommodations • Measure • Implement • Repeat

  43. Conclusion • Lean Software Development • Elimination of waste • Improve: • Productivity • Efficiency • Bottom line
