Podcast appearances and mentions of Donald G Reinertsen

In this episode of the Design30 Podcast, I discuss a couple takeaways from the forward of the book Developing Products in Half the Time by Preston G. Smith and Donald G. Reinertsen. The forward is written by Neil Hagglund who was the Corporate VP and Director of Corporate Technology Planning at Motorola Inc. In the forward I found two nuggets of knowledge I felt I needed to share with the listeners of Design30.

Dragan Stepanović is our guest, and he brings his heuristic: “Continuous code reviews enable higher team's throughput”. We dive into Dragan's research on how async code reviews affect the quality and throughput of teams that create and maintain software. He also shares how his research challenged some of his assumptions, and we finalise discussing his experiences bringing his research to management. Dragan recommends the following resources: The Principles of Product Development Flow from Donald G. Reinertsen The Phoenix Project: A Novel about IT, DevOps, and Helping Your Business Win from Gene Kim, Kevin Behr and George Spafford The Goal from Eliyahu M. Goldratt Continuous Delivery: Reliable Software Releases through Build, Test, and Deployment Automation from Jez Humble and Dave Farley Accelerate: The Science of Lean Software and DevOps: Building and Scaling High Performing Technology Organizations from Nicole Forsgren, Jez Humble and Gene Kim Dragan (@d_stepanovic) is based in Berlin and currently works as a principal engineer at HelloFresh. Typically on the search for better ways of working, exploring ends of the spectrums, and helping teams and organisations try out counter-intuitive ideas that initially don't make a lot of sense but end up as completely opposite of that. It's been a long time since he fell in love with eXtreme Programming, Domain-Driven Design, and software as a craft (founder of Software Crafting Serbia community). In the last couple of years, he enjoys endless discussions connecting the Theory of Constraints, Systems Thinking, Lean and socio-technical topics.

We had a chance to sit down with Steve Hazel of Sauce Labs. Steve is the CTO, co-founder of the Sauce Labs. There has been so much written lately about the role of automated testing in DevOps and what the role of QA is going forward. Listen to what an industry veteran and thought leader has to say on the subject. Also Steve recommended The Phoenix Project in our interview as a great book to read. Afterwards he had another great selection that we wanted to include: The Principles of Product Development Flow by Donald G. Reinertsen is never going to be a best seller, but it's a real engineer's book on process. If you aspire to push the state of the art forward beyond today's Agile and DevOps ideas, this book will show you a deeper and more rigorous way of thinking about product development processes.

In this episode an interview with Don Reinertsen. We speak with Don about topics from his book The Principles of Product Development Flow - Second Generation Lean Product Development. We talk about Lean principles in the context of manufacturing and product development, and how these apply to software development. Don explains how variability is important for innovation, and how reduction in batch sizes and queues will improve flow. We discuss the economic model and the focus on quality vs utility. Don also discusses agile software methods like Scrum and Kanban and how they use some of the principles of product development. Don was in the Netherlands for the Lean & Kanban 2011 Benelux conference. His keynote 'Is It Time to Rethink Deming' can be viewed here courtesy of @agileminds. Read more from Don on the Reinertsen & Associates website. On twitter he is @dreinertsen. This interview was recorded on the 27th of September 2011 at the TouchDown Center in Haarlem.
