Lean Software Development Methodologies: Tom and Mary Poppendieck
Posted by Abhishek Agrawal terribly early in the morning: July 9th, 2008
July 06: Xebia India IT Architects hosted a session by The Poppendiecks.
I was fortunate to be one of the participants as well as the organizer of their North India trip. Having practicing Lean, Scrum and XP for quite some time now, it was a nice experience to measure our understanding of these concepts against the "creator's definitions". Here I take you on a quick(??) trip to the session through my eyes...
Lean Gurus Mary and Tom Poppendieck at Xebia India
Posted by Anurag Shrivastava at around evening time: July 7th, 2008
On 6th July 2008 we had opportunity to welcome Mary and Tom Poppendieck at the Xebia office in Gurgaon, in their last leg of India tour, in which they organized workshops on Lean Software Development. Mary, an Engineer, started her career at 3M, as a junior engineer, described how she was mentored by seniors to learn and perform. It was very easy for me to relate the 3M case study at ISB with the actual experience of Mary at 3M. A key point for me to notice was that at 3M the business managers kept two best engineers without any project assignments so they would be available to help juniors.
