In this episode, I discuss the Theory of Constraints as introduced in the book The Goal by Eliyahu M. Goldratt.

Modern software development methodologies (Agile, Lean, DevOps) place a heavy focus on the flow of quality work through the development process - and the continual improvement of that flow.

The Theory of Constraints helps us to identify areas of improvement within that flow.

Note: I originally recorded this as one episode, but have subsequently split into two parts during the edit.  Part 1, last week, introduces the ideas of flow and the Theory of Constraints using a simplified manufacturing line example.  Part 2, this episode, applies those thoughts to our traditional software development practices and look at how we may traditional have tried, unsuccessfully, to resolve those constraints.

In this episode, I introduce Value Streams and Value Stream Mapping.

Value Streams and Value Stream Mapping, I believe, are exceptionally useful tools to help us understand what we're doing, how we are doing it, and where we can find sources for improvement.
