Lean Software Practices
Lean software development practices, or what the Poppendiecks call "tools" are expressed slightly differently from their equivalents in agile software development, but there are parallels. Examples of such practices include:
- Seeing waste
- Value stream mapping
- Set-based development
- Pull systems
- Queuing theory
- Motivation
- Measurements
Some of the tools map quite easily to agile methods. Lean Workcells, for example are expressed in Agile methods as cross-functional teams.

Famous quotes containing the words lean and/or practices:
“Let me have men about me that are fat,
Sleek-headed men, and such as sleep a-nights.
Yon Cassius has a lean and hungry look;
He thinks too much. Such men are dangerous.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“They that have grown old in a single state are generally found to be morose, fretful and captious; tenacious of their own practices and maxims; soon offended by contradiction or negligence; and impatient of any association but with those that will watch their nod, and submit themselves to unlimited authority.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
