Welcome to the Software Process and Measurement Cast 196!\n\nThe Software Process and Measurement Cast 196 features my inteview with Jeff Anderson of Deloitte on topics that spanned\xa0lean, kanban and using the ideas from the work done on lean startups as a process improvement tool.\nBio -\xa0\nJeff started his professional life as your typical IT development geek, creating software delivery joy through the use of\xa0things like patterns, agile methods, and overall object oriented goodness. For the most part he was disappointed in the way\xa0IT delivery projects were managed, the reason they were started, and how they ended up. This dissatisfaction with the\xa0status quo led him to gradually embrace a new mission in life, to help IT knowledge workers to become awesome at what they\xa0do. To that end he has created the Deloitte LEAN service offering, providing advisory, coaching, and change management\xa0services to IT departments. Jeff has built this capability within Deloitte to help IT clients truly transform the way they\xa0operate their business. Over the last several years he has played a leadership role in some of the largest Kanban based\xa0enterprise transformations worldwide. Jeff keeps adding new tools to his transformation utility belt, including lean\xa0startup, gamification and others to define the next generation of work environments for knowledge professionals. Last, but\xa0definitely not least, Jeff is the proud father of a brand new daughter Mila, and husband of to his amazing wife Barbara.\nBlog: \xa0Twitter: @thomasjeffrey ()\n\n\nThe SPaMCAST 196 is sponsored by .\xa0\nBy now, most of you in the Lean-Agile community have heard of LeanKit, recognized by community leaders and practitioners\xa0alike as the most flexible and powerful tool available for implementing visual management. Since their launch in 2009,\xa0LeanKit has helped hundreds of companies around the world to quickly and easily model even very complex processes as\xa0vertical and horizontal lanes on a virtual whiteboard with cards representing work flowing from step to step.\xa0\nWell, LeanKit has now announced the launch of groundbreaking new features that allow even the largest enterprise portfolio\xa0and projects to be managed using multiple levels of drill-down Kanban boards, detailed sub-taskboards, and roll-up Lean\xa0metrics - as well as a complete overhaul of their user interface that makes LeanKit more attractive, more intuitive, and\xa0easier to manage. If you haven't checked out LeanKit or haven't lately, check out the website to explore how they can help\xa0Lean-Agile scale within your organization. \xa0\xa0 (and say hello for the SPaMCAST!)\n\nShameless Ad for my book!\xa0\n co-authored by Murali Chematuri and myself and \xa0published by J.
