Lean principles, Agile development, Scrum, XP, Testdriven development - these are just some of the buzzwords on the software business and development arena these days.

Introduction

Lean principles, Agile development, Scrum, XP, Testdriven development – these are just some of the buzzwords on the software business and development arena these days.

Developers and testers often have a rather clear view of what this means for them. But in the busy position as a manager, resource owner or economically responsible it can be hard to stay updated.

To help you retain the initiative, Nohau has designed a special course called "Lean for managers" which will help you understand what Lean principles and tools can do for you.

Participants

The target group is all levels of management with the responsibility to deliver business value given a certain resource.

The four-part course is generally given as a two-day package, but can also be held as a series of on-site workshops at your company.

What you will learn

Understand the underlying principles of Lean the Toyota Way and the Agile Manifesto. Accordingly, you can design improvement solutions for your own organization.

Use simple tools to define business value, find and remove your waste, and create a flow of deliveries. This will help you improve your profitability and reduce your lead times.

Set up a permanent structure for continuous learning and improvement.
