Agile Tips

This week I will examine the principle "create knowledge" and how it influences both the way physical products are manufactured but in the creation of business automation.  Along the way I wall introduce the process of Kaizen, and compare that to the idea of a Spike in hardware and software development.

This week I'll delve into the concept of quality as a constant concern in project management, and use the Toyota Production System to illustrate what this means both in terms of building physical products, but also the creation of business automation.

In part one of my series on Lean, I examine the concept of eliminating Muda, or waste.  I will show this in the context of manufacturing and software development, to compare and contrast the two.

This will be the first in a series on Lean Manufacturing and Lean Software Development, which is a major enabled of agile processes.

I conclude this series my summarizing my current views on AI and it's increasing role in the development of business automation.

In the episode I will reflect on what I have learned by interacting with the management of the corporations I teach for, regarding the thoughts, concerns, and plans around AI.

People fear being replaced by AI.  Should they?  This episode will examine why this concern may not be as founded as people think, at least when it comes to industries I am familiar with.

This episode will use software development as an example of how AI can be used to make the product development process more efficient, and less wasteful.  This is an example which I believe could apply to any kind of product.

This podcast will kick off a series of episodes on AI, and my personal view of it.

This week I will wrap up the notion of Shift Left, and introduce the next topic for this podcast.
