lean management focuses on removing wasteful steps. In other words, the workers commit their time and energy only to work that yields positive results, and this includes the actual processes of performing the work. In lean management, it's important to control the amount of work in progress (WIP). The general rule is that four or fewer tasks are performed at a time. By taking this approach, the development team can handle the work without being burdened. What's your take regarding the lean approach? Do you think controlling the WIP makes sense?
