Diversity and Inclusion to build better products from the front lines at Google
Establishing diverse and inclusive organizations is an economic imperative for every industry. Any business that isn't reaching a diverse market is missing out on enormous revenue potential and the opportunity to build products that suit their users' core needs. The economic "why" has been firmly established, but what about the "how?" How can business leaders adapt to our ever-more-diverse world by capturing market share AND building more inclusive products for people of color, women and other underrepresented groups? The Product Inclusion Team at Google has developed strategies to do just that and Building For Everyone is the practical guide to following in their footsteps.

Описание:
Kanban is the name given to the inventory control card used in a pull system. The primary benefit of kanban is to reduce overproduction, the worst of the seven deadly wastes. A true kanban system produces exactly what is ordered, when it is ordered, and in the quantities ordered. It is essentially a dynamic work order that moves with the material.
Each kanban identifies the part or subassembly unit and indicates where each one came from and where each is going. Used this way, kanban acts as a system of information that integrates your plant, connects all processes one to another, and connects the entire value stream to customer demand.
Kanban for the Shopfloor provides a working manual for those seeking to implement this method of production control in any operation. It defines the various terms and methods employed in kanbans, and illustrates how when adhered to, kanban is an element of continuous improvement that ultimately leads to the ideal of one-piece flow.
In addition to reducing the waste of overproduction, kanban will help your company increase flexibility to respond to customer demand, coordinate production of small lots and wide product variety, and simplify the procurement process.

Starting with a historical overview of the framework, the early beginnings of project management are discussed, followed by the birth of the agile project management framework that emerged out of the need for the software development process to be refined and made more efficient.

Описание:

Work is described precisely in terms of cycle time, work in process, sequence, time, layout, and the inventory needed to conduct the activity.

Are you sick and tired of spending too much time and money in software development?
Have you tried many other tools and even revising your current methodologies endlessly to have more control in the process, empower your team enough and satisfy your customers but nothing seems to work for more than a few weeks or months?
Do you finally want to say goodbye to wasting too much resources on new tools (that probably never effectively boost the process of creating software for your company) every now and then and discover something, which works for you?
If so, then you've come to the right place.
You see, being able to achieve all the above, plus increase ROI, reduce tasks or problem solving time by 50%, increase productivity and make the most of your clients' time and investment with ease doesn't have to be difficult.
In fact, it's easier than you think.
According to a report published in Research Gate, more and more companies are shifting from the traditional waterfall model to Agile scrum due to its ease of use as well as its quality of facilitating timely decision making, team work, testing of small units of a project, focusing on the project's purpose among many more.
A case study published by Lahti University of Applied Sciences, describes scrum as a lightweight process framework for agile development that is the most widely used globally due to its ability to maximize the amount of productive time available for getting useful work done, the fact that it affords autonomy to team members, fosters creativity and worker satisfaction, which is important to efficiency and improving productivity.
That means that you can simplify and quicken your software development processes organically by empowering your team with scrum, and thereby increase efficiency in the overall project, boost customer satisfaction and, in the end, increase returns.
But what is the scrum method all about?
How does it work?
What are the stages in this methodology?
How would I avoid the common mistakes that might be there?
If you have these and other related questions, this book is for you so keep reading.
More precisely, it will teach you:
The basics of scrum, including what it is, how it works, history of scrum and more
The ins and outs of the scrum method, including why you need it and the inner workings of the methodology
The tools you need to implement scrum
The core roles of scrum
The phases of the scrum process
The scrum artifacts
Scaling scrum
Benefits that come with adopting scrum
Scrum mistakes to avoid
Scrum certification
Applying scrum in your organization
The ins and outs of the scrum framework
...And so much more
Imagine how fast your company could grow when you finally learn how to condense the work in your software development processes with a method that offers your team and customers full satisfaction and freedom, and one that gives you results in the shortest time possible.
