As IT organizations have started exploring the application of Lean practices to the development and maintenance of application software, many have missed focusing on the crucial pillar of Jidoka--early detection and elimination of defects.
Join us on Tuesday, July 19th to hear Dr. Bill Curtis, Director of the Consortium for IT Software Quality (CISQ) and Chief Scientist at CAST, discuss key steps to cut IT costs through Lean principles:
- Eliminate much of the 30-50% of development effort wasted on defects in source code and the rework they cause
- Reduce maintenance resources by addressing the changeability of code early in development
- Sustain the quality of the application over its lifetime by continuously tuning the performance of code and managing application size
- Mitigate the structural problems in source code resulting in the fast pace and short release cycles of Agile
