Lean Software & Systems Conference Program Announced

The Lean Software & Systems Conference program has been announced. Each of the 3 days is packed with great content describing how Lean is being adopted and leveraged to generate real business benefits. As with the Miami conference in 2009, the focus is on practitioners telling real stories from the field describing why, what and how changes were implemented along with the tangible business benefits. This is by far the best ever conference focused solely on Lean (including kanban systems) applied to the field of software development, IT and systems engineering.

The program is so packed with quality it is impossible to single people out. Some folks you’ll have heard of… Donald Reinertsen, Mary Poppendieck, Jim Shore, Arlo Belshee, Karl Scotland, Alan Shalloway, Joshua Kerievsky, David Laribee, Simon Baker and Gus Power, and Richard Turner. There are four Gordon Pask Award winners on that list alone! And some folks you might not have heard of but really need to check out because their stuff is amazing… Robert Charette, Richard Hensley, Bo Oppenheim, Benjamin Mitchell, Christoph Louvion, Ryan Martens and Yuval Yevet!

Many of the presentations are new and have not been presented at previous conferences and many of the speakers will not be appearing at other agile community events in North America in 2010. If you believe that Lean (and Kanban) are the way forward for your organization then you simply have to register and come down to Atlanta in April. You won’t find better value anywhere else! Don’t miss out! Bring a colleague to insure you get full coverage. Register now!

Kanban Coaching Workshop Chicago in May Announced

I’ve just announced my third public Kanban Coaching workshop in the United States for May of this year to be held in downtown Chicago.

I’ve been collecting some useful blog posts from people who’ve attended previous sessions…

Rachel Davies who attended the first public workshop in London in October 2009, Kanban Coaching Insights

David Draper who also attended in London, Kanban Coaching Workshop, Why Kanban, Lean Decision Making

Karen Graves who attended the public workshop in Cape Town, South Africa in February, Kanban Evolution

Armond Mehrabian, who attended a private workshop held in Seattle in January, Part 1, Part 2, Part 3

These sessions are designed to be intensive knowledge transfer for agile, project management and process coaches and consultants keen to learn how to lead Lean transformations using kanban systems and an evolutionary approach to change management.

Technorati tag: Agile, Lean, Kanban, Software+Engineering, Project+Management
