I had the privilege of both attending and speaking at Lean Kanban Central Europe (LKCE) in 2013. (Awesome conference). In my talk I share insights and techniques useful when improving the full value chain, across functions in a software product organization.
Here’s a video on my talk.
Nice presentation and yes most people would agree that the inception activities are an easy win. However some people see these as absolutely necessary through myopia driven by self interest or ignorance. I’m keen on counselling others in the folly of this thinking. It’s folly for the organisation and folly for them personally.
