by Greg Caldwell (Author)
The Lean and Agile frameworks have been misapplied for two decades. Most teams that "do Agile" are running Waterfall with stand-ups.
Lean Enterprise - The Essential Step-by-Step Guide to Building a Lean Business with Six Sigma, Kanban, and 5S Metho explains what they're actually for. Single-volume guide written to be read straight through. Concrete, applicable, and built for the reader who wants results faster than theory.
Inside:
- The principles, in their original form, before consultants softened them.
- The practices that produce the results everyone wants from these methods.
- When Lean is the wrong answer. Honest cases where waterfall is faster.
- How to introduce these frameworks to teams that have heard the buzzwords too many times.
- The cultural and organizational patterns that determine success or theater.
- Real-world examples - both wins and the kind of failures that get hidden in case studies.
Read this if you're tired of doing the rituals without the results.
