Description
At Accuer, our business depends on helping successful product developers become even better.
We need to provide real results, quickly, in lots of different areas. Because we need to stay at the
leading edge, I've studied and read almost every book on lean product development; this one is
better than the rest of them combined! Why? It's a unique combination of practical methods and
clear explanations of the science that makes them work. If you've enjoyed Don's previous books
as much as I have, you're guaranteed like this one. ----David W. Paulson, President Accuer,
Inc.This book challenges an awful lot of fashionable ideas on improving product development
processes. It provides a vast number of very solid principles that could make a big difference for
almost any product development organization, from beginners to the most advanced. It offers a
fundamentally different way of thinking about product development processes. Don't read it if you
are content with business as usual! ----Andrew Flint, Microsoft Hardware “..the dominant
paradigm for managing product development is wrong. Not just a little wrong, but wrong to its very
core.” Today’s product development orthodoxy is broken. What’s wrong? Companies are
pursuing the wrong goals. They maximize capacity utilization, and wonder why cycle times are so
long. They strive to conform to plan, and wonder why new obstacles constantly emerge. They try
to eliminate variability, and wonder why innovation disappears. They carefully break processes
into phases and gates, and wonder why things slow down instead of speeding up. Ironically, each
of these actions actually hurts more than it helps.We need a different approach, one based on
solid economics and real science. The heart of this approach is FLOW, and the enemy of flow is
the invisible and unmeasured queues that undermine all aspects of product development
performance. Stagnant piles of idle work lengthen cycle time. At the same time, they delay vital
feedback and destroy process efficiency. Yet today, these queues remain unmanaged. Ninetyeight
percent of product developers neither measure nor control their queues.But, how can we
manage these queues and achieve real flow? It takes a bit of science. We can start with the ideas
of lean manufacturing. Then, we must recognize the vast difference between the stable world of
repetitive manufacturing and the high-variability world of product development. A product
development process must thrive in the presence of variability. Ultimately, we must reach even
further, drawing upon ideas from the Internet, transportation systems, computer operating
systems, and military doctrine. This is the first book that comprehensively describes the underlying
principles that create flow in product development processes, principles that have produced 5x to
10x improvements, even in mature processes. It combines a lucid explanation of the real science

behind flow and a rich set of pr
