SDForum Software Engineering Management SIG - About Lean Software November 15, 2007

Accelerating Learning and Innovation, Eliminating Waste
Speaker, Frode L. Odegard, Founder and CEO of Lean Software Institute, will present new perspectives on software product development and take-aways on how to restructure it to make the development process more effective and efficient.

Program Description - Begins promptly at 7 PM
Executives are often excited about Lean Product Development because of the bottom-line results this approach has been shown to deliver (up to 4 x R&D productivity, 70% schedule reduction, etc.) While improvements in speed, customer satisfaction, and cost savings are well-documented, the real power of Lean Product Development stems from the way leaders are able to mobilize people for faster learning and innovation.

In this session we will discuss powerful Lean practices that help executives focus their people more on results-oriented innovation and less on just following a process. We will then show how this knowledge-driven approach results in better products and processes.
