Lean software development embodies seven main principles, as outlined in the book, “Implementing Lean Software Development: From Concept to Cash,” by Mary and Tom Poppendieck. First published in 2006, the Poppendiecks’ multiple works on lean remain topical still today as more IT teams continue to implement the lean methodology year-after-year. Each of the seven principles outlined in the book contributes to lean out software development by reducing waste and optimizing the process.
