In The Brain of Benjamin Mitchell: Why Lean Product Development is a good fit for Software Development

Why Lean Product Development is a good fit for Software Development
Based on 20 month's experience running a successful Lean/Kanban web software development project, this talk will attempt to demonstrate how Software Development can benefit from many from the concepts and tools from Lean Product Development. In a grand 'Theory of Everything' style, Benjamin will attempt to link the concepts that he's been studying along with his practical experiences running a project in a single 90 minute talk!
