Lean Software Development via Scrum
Lean principles have been proven successful in manufacturing for decades through companies like Toyota and Dell and are quickly being incorporated into the software development industry. Reducing waste, focusing on the producers, amplifying learning, and whole system optimization are just some of the areas we will be exploring in this session.
This session will expose you to the 7 principles of Lean Software Development and how the Scrum Framework can be used as a tool to drive a lean organization. It incorporates a very powerful hands-on experience to drive home the concepts of waste identification, value flow and whole system optimization.
This session is appropriate for any software development role or technology. It will help expose some of the hidden inefficiencies in your organization and what you can do to address them.
About Pete Behrens
Pete Behrens didn't set out to become a leadership expert. His professional journey began as an engineer, solving technical problems, but life had other plans. Over three decades, Pete has evolved from individual contributor to technical leader to business executive and organizational coach, learning that the most complex challenges aren't technical; they're human.
As Founder and CEO of Agile Leadership Journey, Pete has dedicated his career to helping leaders navigate uncertainty with courage and authenticity. He believes that leadership isn't about having all the answers; it's about having the humility to ask better questions and the courage to step forward when the path isn't clear.
Pete’s debut book, “Into the Fog: Leadership Stories from the Edge of Uncertainty,” captures decades of leadership wisdom through compelling real-world stories. The book reveals how authentic leadership emerges not in moments of clarity, but in the uncertainty of everyday challenges–what Pete calls “the Fog.”
An influential speaker, Pete has shared his insights at various global conferences and hosts the Relearning Leadership™ podcast, where he engages with industry experts and leaders to explore the evolving landscape of leadership and organizational development.
