Lean product development

This diagram of the Lean product development practices from “Scaling Lean & Agile Development: Thinking and Organizational Tools for Large-Scale Scrum” copied here seems to have great advices. I am reading this book now and I have always liked Craig Larman’s interesting collection of ideas and insight.

I particularly like the authors’ dissection of a Kanban practice( http://www.agilemanagement.net/index.php/blog/Kanban_in_Action/ ) in the chapter on Lean Thinking ( Example: “Kanban System” Analysis )

We surely ignore every advice shown here but if I were to pick one that is totally anathema to the offshore industry then it would be the idea of long-lasting engineers.
