It offers an enormous variety of very strong rules that could make an enormous difference for almost any product development organization, from newbies to probably the most advanced. It offers a fundamentally totally different mind-set about product growth processes.

Author begins Reinertsen in his meticulous examination of in the present day's product improvement practices. He carefully explains why invisible and unmanaged queues are the underlying root cause of poor product development performance. He shows why these queues form and the way they undermine the speed, high quality, and effectivity in product development.

Then, he supplies a roadmap for altering this. The book offers a well-organized set of 175 underlying ideas in eight major areas. He shows you practical methods to enhance financial decisions, handle queues, cut back batch dimension, apply WIP constraints, speed up suggestions, manage flows within the presence of variability and decentralize control.

The text will ceaselessly change the way in which you concentrate on product development. Reinertsen starts with the ideas of lean manufacturing but goes far beyond them, drawing upon concepts from telecommunications networks, transportation programs, computer operating methods and military doctrine.
