Middleton, Peter (1993): Programmer Managed Using Lean Techniques. In: Cook, Curtis, Scholtz, Jean and Spohrer, James C. (eds.) Empirical Studies of Programmers - Fifth Workshop December 3-15, 1993, 1993, Palo Alto, California. p. 227.

“This paper is concerned with the dynamics of how programmers interact with other team members. It examines the management of the tasks of design, coding and maintenance. It also contributes to the area of learning and knowledge transfer. This research describes how lessons learned in lean, as opposed to mass production, might be applied to software construction. Attempts to raise the productivity of information systems development often involve adding more technology, for example -- CASE tools, 4th Generation Languages and Relational Databases. The evidence from other industries suggests that higher quality and productivity can be obtained with less technology. This paper reports initial observations from an empirical pilot study of 2 small teams of programmers managed using lean or Just-In-Time (JIT) techniques for constructing software. It concludes that JIT approaches do significantly alter the dynamics of the groups. The work is of higher quality and learning happens more quickly. The problem is that it clearly exposes people with weak performance, and therefore an organisation needs to be particularly willing and able to assist these members of staff.”

“ Software design is the act of determining the user's experience with a piece of software. It has nothing to do with how the code works inside, or how big or small the code is. The designer's task is to specify completely and unambiguously the user's whole experience. ”

-- David Liddle, From Bringing Design to Software, edited by Terry Winograd, 1996 ”
