Lean

“Lean manufacturing” or “lean production” is an approach or methodology that aims to reduce waste in a production process by focussing on preserving value. Largely derived from practices developed by Toyota in car manufacturing, lean concepts have been applied to software development as part of agile methodologies. The Value Stream Map (VSM), which attempts to visually identify valuable and wasteful process steps, is a key lean tool.
