Seminar overview:
In this in-depth seminar, you will learn about strategies and principles that will help you reduce development schedules by up to 70%, while reducing costs and improving quality. Using Lean strategies helps you avoid non-value-added work, improve innovation capacity, and deliver more value to your customers.
You will learn about:
· Quickly diagnosing your execution challenges
o Why as much as 95% of your development lead time may be non-value-added
o Identifying, quantifying, and ranking your execution bottlenecks (waste)
· Implementing remedies to respond faster to customer needs
o Setting clear, quantifiable goals for products and processes
o Focusing on customer value, avoiding features that add little or no value
o Reducing delays and rework due to defects (often 50% of development effort)
o Accelerated problem-solving with collaborative workspaces
o Reducing schedule and risk with Set-Based Concurrent Engineering
o Overcoming barriers between departments, groups, and teams
o Removing non-value-added activities to reduce delivery time, effort, and cost
o Eliminating sources of wait time (e.g. queues and capacity imbalances)
o Just-in-time response to customer demand instead of slower, plan-driven work
o Providing real-time insight into actual progress for teams and executives
· Making changes stick, going beyond initial improvements
o Establishing a continuous process of reflection, learning, and improvement
o Overcoming leadership challenges that hamper organizational learning
o Using Lean to take your existing Agile or CMMI efforts to the next level
o Applying Lean strategies to outsourcing and distributed development
Audience:
This event is targeted at managers and senior management in software companies and IT organizations that are under pressure to deliver quality software at a faster pace.
