How many IT books have you read that are long on theory and short on practical application? They are interesting, but not very impactful. They provide a framework from which to think and understand, but lack a process from which to act. This book, The Lean IT Field Guide, addresses this urgent need for the IT community. It supplies guidance on how to initiate, execute, and sustain a Lean IT transformation.This book takes readers further than most titles on the topic by detailing a framework for lasting transformation and identifying the steps management needs to take. Addressing the "how-to" element that has been a consistent stumbling block in Lean IT, the authors integrate more than twenty years of combined experience to capture an effective method for creating and sustaining a true Lean IT workplace.
