 Kanban Track
Discussions of theory and practice relating to limited Work in Progress (WIP) pull systems in the software development lifecycle and project management.
“Teams struggle with constraints in one part of the system while excess capacity exists in another. There is always something ‘in progress.’ As a result, they have trouble shipping software”
Arlo Belshee – Session: Single Piece Flow, A How-To |
 Lean Business and Management Track
Covering a wide range of Lean ideas and concepts applied to software project management. Learn about organizational transition, metrics, techniques used at large companies and more.
“Policy Deployment in a lean organization is like navigating a ship – it starts with an understanding of the final destination, but leaders don’t forget that it’s their job to steer the ship along the way.”
Mary Poppendieck – Session: What’s Wrong with Targets
|
 Lean Systems Engineering Track
Lean ideas applied to Systems Engineering and Integration. Sessions include decision techniques, defining lean systems engineering, failure prediction and assuring success.
“Relatively simple ideas from Systems Engineering can ’super-charge’ your Lean efforts and make your programs successful even in highly-challenging situations and with very-demanding customers.”
James Sutton – Session: – Session: Lean System Engineering: Key to Accomplishing Big Things
|
 Experience Reports Track
Field case studies in lean and kanban implementations presented by practitioners.
“Kanban sets an expectation of flow, provides improved predictability and business agility, and enables a kaizen culture via bottleneck management, waste reduction and variability reduction, thus enabling teams to visualise and implement improvements.”
David Joyce – Session: A Journey to Systemic Improvement (BBC Worldwide)
|
 Lean Engineering Practices
Presenting emerging and evolving programming, testing and analysis practices. Topics include BDD, releasing per feature, deploying latent code, and managing complex workflows for incremental delivery..
“You’ll learn what programming processes help or hurt our ability to limit ‘red time’ and you’ll gain an appreciation for the visual cues that can help make you a better programmer”
Joshua Kerievsky – Session: The Limited Red Society
|
Leaning Over the Edge Track
Explore innovative ideas, devil’s advocacy and topics on the periphery of Lean theory such as option theory and risk management.
“Business capability analysis helps larger teams realize similar speed and quality results of smaller teams while remaining aligned with what is most valuable to the business.”
Dennis Stevens - Session: Feeding the Agile Beast

Keynote
Don Reinertsen
“The Easy Road to FLOW Goes through a Town named LEAN”
If we seek to achieve flow, the ideas of lean manufacturing are a superb starting point. However, if we think of them as our final destination, they will ultimately only block our progress.

Keynote
Robert Charette
“Risk, Lean Development & Profit: Getting Back to Basics”
Lean is concerned with challenging assumptions and breaking through the constraints that limit us in what we see and do. By challenging our assumptions we open ourselves to new sources of discovery and innovation.
