More and more organizations are following a Lean model for creating products. This model has been popularized by LeanUX and the Lean Startup movements which emphasize build-test-learn in rapid iteration.

In this talk I get into the tension between focusing too much on reuse and components and not enough on experience & experimentation. I also talk about the powerful technology stack available in the open source world that fits so well in the lean movement — I call this the Lean Tech Stack. I gave this presentation today at the Open Web Camp 2012.

What behavioral anti-patterns can stop a lean/agile team in its tracks? What situations cause projects to lose their nimbleness?

Check out this presentation I have shared with our teams here at PayPal. I will also be giving it at Chegg next week.
