Review: The Principles of Product Development Flow

The Principles of Product Development Flow: Second Generation Lean Product Development by Donald G. Reinertsen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Anyone considering themselves as part of the Lean-outside-manufacturing community should read this – it’s the scientific and economic basis for why the flow aspects of Lean work in the context of time to market criticality and high variance, and full of practical advise on what this should look like.

It’s entirely waffle free to the point of terseness, and so full of good solid advice and aha! moment explanations that I had to resort to the highlighter just to help me prioritise. I now have highlighted sections on almost every page.
