Summary
The first guide to using lean methods in data and systems integration: breakthrough techniques for streamlining development and maintenance bull; bull;Breakthrough integration techniques to reduce expense, waste, and risk, and improve time-to-market. bull;Detailed best practices based on the authors' immense experience with enterpriseclass integration. bull;Multiple case studies highlight real-world experiences, lessons, and solutions. bull;Builds on the lean IT techniques pioneered in Mary and Tom Poppendieck's bestselling books. By some estimates, 40% of IT budgets are devoted to solving or managing integration problems. Most organizations still attack integration on a 'projectby- project' basis, causing unnecessary expense, waste, risk, and delay. The solution can be found in the same 'lean' techniques that have revolutionized manufacturing and are beginning to transform enterprise software development as well. Lean Integration is the first complete guide to using 'lean' methods in complex, business-critical data, application, and system integration projects. John Schmidt and David Lyle bring together best practices, solid management principles, real-life case studies, and specific, measurable actions for streamlining both development and maintenance. Schmidt and Lyle don't just show how to successfully implement lean integration in a single project: they demonstrate how to establish 'integration factories' that leverage the powerful benefits of repeatability and continuous improvement. Drawing on their immense personal experience with enterprise integration, they offer deep insights on challenges ranging from team empowerment to process automation, as well as specific guidance on managing everything from finance and architecture to metadata. For organizations that want to make substantial - not just incremental - improvements in the way they approach integration, this book will be absolutely indispensable.
