Welcome to the Software Process and Measurement Cast 272. The SPaMCAST 272 features my interview with Jeff Anderson. We talked about The Lean Change Method and the book of the same title!
Jeff's Bio:
My mission in life is to help technology knowledge workers be awesome at what they do. Having been in the market since 1994, I have harnessed my initial passion for agile software engineering to provide advisory services to clients that want to thrive in a world of market uncertainty and continuous learning.
Over the last several years I have been running Deloitte LEAN, an Agile/Lean transformation service to help clients embrace the knowledge economy.
Our service offering has evolved from coaching teams with agile, to end to end transformation of IT using Lean/Kanban, to now coaching businesses to embrace Lean Startup thinking.
I admit to am unbridled enthusiasm for any method that bring creativity and joy to the value creation process.
A big part of my job is the synthesis of leading edge thinking into contextualized, practical tools. As an example I have adapted lean startup methods to organizational change management, and self published the book "The Lean Change Method".
I been nominated for a Brickell Key award, and am a founding fellow of the Lean System Society.
