Lean, not mean. Building sustainable software with Lean software practices
summary
Lean software is framed as seven concrete principles rooted in the Toyota way (two roots: continuous improvement and respect for people). Examples: remove brittle UI tests that nobody uses, run 10–15 minute brown‑bag sessions to amplify learning, delay architecture choices until necessary, enable independent deployments (microservices) and use information radiators. Teams talk to 5–10 customers regularly, get permission to experiment, treat retrospectives as a cadence, and aim to “think big, act small.”
