Abstract
The words lean, product development, and innovation have unique implications for software organizations. Most lean software implementations have focused on the individual work practices rather than attempt to take a system approach. This is consistent with the evolution on lean thinking. Similarly even though innovation is the lifeblood of software organizations, few are successful at sustaining their innovation efforts. We believe that lean product development serves as a bridge to connect lean enterprise thinking and innovation in a mutually reinforcing manner. The program we have put together focuses on blending research and practice to provide the conference attendee with immediately usable tools, tips and techniques, and at the same time create the foundation for creating a lean system of innovation.
