I held a seminar at NFI today "Introduction to Lean Software Development".  Afterwards, I got the question "where is a good starting point to learn more?" – and realized that while there is new material, much is still "in work" (for example: Mary and David are both working in new books).  So updated information it is not easily found.

If you are completely new to the subject:

• Implementing Lean Software Development – Mary & Tom Poppendieck
  [comment] While there is newer material, this is a good starting point.

"I have the basic understanding and now want to move on to the software specific stuff"

• David Anderson Kanban for software presentation
  [comment] good visualization of concepts in practice

• Mary has a great essay page
  [comment] nice inspiration

• ..or grab my slides from today  "Introduction to Lean software development"
  [comment] ..note, at least half of the content was delivered verbally, but the stuff in here is up to date

Psst!: Two great opportunities exists in May to get the latest in Lean here in Sweden:

• Deep Lean 18-19 May –  with Mary Poppendieck and Jeff Sutherland
• Future of Agile – with David Anderson, Mattias Skarin and Henrik Kniberg
