MNAEG Tuesday, January 17th - Evidence-based Decision-making for Lean Product Development

[RHunter]

Topic: Evidence-based Decision-making for Lean Product Development

Using Don Reinertsen’s Seven Big Ideas for 2^nd Generation Lean Product Development, let’s have a conversation about using these concepts: 

 

1. Understand your economics
2. Manage your queues
3. Exploit variability
4. Enable smaller batches
5. Control WIP and start rates
6. Prioritize based on economics
7. Accelerate feedback

Is anyone using them today? 

Which ones are hard to implement? 

Which ones are easy to implement?

Kevin Burns will present and lead the discussion. 

Kevin has led software product discovery and implementations for 20+ years. Kevin enjoys facilitating fast product learning cycles using collaborative charters, personas, story mapping, and iterative delivery. He also enjoys teaching lean and agile practice adoption at all levels of the organization.

Here is a link to parking info http://www.stthomas.edu/parking/parkingoptions/

Note on parking: The Morrison ramp ($1/hr after 4 PM) is probably where most end up.

Street parking in non-permit areas on the campus perimeters can often be found (by those who enjoy the hunt).
