These notes were lying around on my laptop, left over from a good presentation at OSCON.

LEAN
- Eliminate waste ruthlessly and measurably.
- Amplify learning - knowledge is power.
- Most productive people are not the specialists, they are the generalists who understand the whole system and can see the bottlenecks.
- Decide late, deliver early. Just in time decision making.
- Smaller chunks of work moving through the system faster.
- See the whole, cultivate a shared result. Avoid hand offs where someone can say "I'm done, it is their problem now".
- Likes the cycle from agile, doesn't like the explicit identifying of what is going to happen in the cycle.
- "Cadence is Key": go from "release early and often" to "in this cycle we added X."
- Know where you stand. Track bugs, feature requests, ideas.
- Branching and merging. Keep trunk pristine, keep features flowing, release on demand.
- Code reviews. Accelerates learning, maintains quality, verifies test coverage.
- Automate testing. Unit, integration, utilization.
- Pre-commit testing.
- Sprints. Nothing brings people together like bringing people together.
