EDITOR’S LETTER Dear reader, You may have noticed some changes occurring in the LMJ over the past couple of months: It’s all in our efforts to continuously improve. We thought the old look was getting a little outdated and distracting from the content. So we’ve lightened, brightened and streamlined things a little. It’s all in an effort to make LMJ the best it can be. We hope you like the look as it continues to change, and be tweaked a little here and there.

  • Lean Software Development – What Exactly Are We Talking About?
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Limerick Institutional Repository Lean Software Development – What Exactly Are We Talking About? Oisín Cawley1, Xiaofeng Wang2, Ita Richardson1, 1Lero-The Irish Software Engineering Research Centre, University of Limerick, Ireland. 2Free University of Bozen/Bolzano, ominikanerplatz 3 piazza Domenicani, I-39100 Bozen/Bolzano, Italy. 1{Oisin.Cawley, Ita.Richardson}@lero.ie, [email protected] Abstract. As the Software Engineering landscape continues to evolve and new paradigms are introduced, there can be a tendency for both industry and academia to enthusiastically embrace new approaches and march forward under whatever banner conventional wisdom has decided to adopt. One such banner is Lean Software Development, a paradigm that continues to see a growth in interest driven by the need for cost reductions within industry. The term lean attracts the attention of business, but precisely how it applies within software development is still being debated. In addition, its relationship to the better understood agile methodologies is also a topic for debate. Having been drawn into this research area ourselves, we present here a review of Lean Software Development and try to distil out for the reader some understanding of this somewhat undefined topic. We conclude with some thoughts on where this subject might go to from here. Keywords: Software Engineering, Software Development, Lean, Agile. 1 Introduction We are living in a period of history which is witnessing a drive for cost reductions and efficiencies across almost every business segment in almost every developed country. Traditionally businesses have been able to find efficiencies and cost reductions through automation and organisational restructuring of the more routine and repeatable processes.

Kiram Maryati Mohd Yusof2 1 TNB Research Sdn. Bhd. 2Faculty of Information Science and Technology, 43000 Kajang, Selangor, Malaysia Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Bangi, Malaysia Abstract—Information systems development (ISD) is prone to waste identified in ISD [4]. The longer the delay of the waste failure, which can be defined as a time-consuming and costly removal, the higher the cost to be incurred by an organization phenomenon that provides value that is not directly appealing to [8]. Consequently, this study attempts to identify the root cause clients. While ISD can be enhanced using various tools, models, of ISD waste in the quest of producing high-quality IS, in and frameworks, failures related to ISD remain to be evident and which the lean IT method and an evaluation are both carried costly. These failures are related to human, organizational, and out to achieve IS success/efficiency from the socio-technical technological factors and waste in ISD. This study identifies the perspective. information system (IS) success criteria and factors that contribute to ISD waste. A qualitative case study was conducted The paper is organized as follows. The following section for an ICT research unit by using interview, observation, and provides an overview of IS success criteria and the Lean IT document analysis techniques as a means of analyzing the IS approach. Section 3 describes the case study method, followed success criteria, leanness level, and waste. Findings show that by the case study findings that are presented in Section 4 based lean IT approaches and IS success criteria can be combined to on ISD success criteria, Leanness level, waste, and document develop a holistic transformation plan for organizational ISD.
