Welcome! Some enjoy Interesting Things blog.

Craig Larman

Management consultant, and author of some popular texts on agile methods and on software analysis & design:

My current focus is scaling lean and agile methods for a single product group of 200 to 2000 people (Asia, Europe & NA—usually multisite including offshore), and large (10,000+ people) enterprise transformations to lean and agile methods. Collecting these as Large-Scale Scrum. Much of my work is in large embedded systems (telecomm, control systems, printers, ...), investment banking, and energy and exploration industries.

What's New

sample Scrum Product Backlog in a Google spreadsheet

Our latest book (2010) Practices for Scaling Lean & Agile Development: Successful Large, Multisite & Offshore Product Development with Large-Scale Scrum is now shipping. The companion book (2009) is Scaling Lean & Agile Development: Thinking & Organizational Tools for Large-Scale Scrum

All diagrams downloadable from our book Scaling Lean & Agile Development

Lean Primer: Free 45+ page introduction to lean thinking. Tell your colleagues!

Recommended readings.

Here is the Lean Thinking house, that summarizes the Toyota Way.

Reflecting my work over recent years, my second-most-recent book is Scaling Lean & Agile Development: Thinking & Organizational Tools for Large-Scale Scrum, with my co-author Bas Vodde, who has long and in-depth experience with very large agile product development and enterprise transformations (at Nokia Networks and NSN).
