21 Lean Thinking Tools

My Lean Software Development Overview did a good job talking about the seven lean principles: eliminate waste, amplify learning, decide as late as possible, deliver as fast as possible, empower the team, build integrity in, and see the whole. However I only briefly mentioned the 21 tools that help you actually implement those principles in practice.

Recently an article was released on the AgileAlliance site about the 21 Lean Thinking Tools. Definitely worth a read, though for the full effect I still highly recommend Lean Software Development: An Agile Toolkit by Mary and Tom Poppendieck.

I liked the article on mapping the 7 lean principles - it's pulling together a lot of thoughts around Lean for me. My first exposure to lean was on the manufacturing side, so I've been skeptical about Lean being a new buzzword. But I've come around on that thinking.

I second the notion on Poppendieck's book - it's a very good read. I'm still waiting for the definitive software book on 'Lean Software Development".

Great links... thanks!
