The Role of Leadership in Software Development
Posted by admin, under Leadership DevelopmentGoogle Tech Talks May 6, 2008 ABSTRACT When you look around, there are a lot of leaders recommended for software development. We have the functional manager and the project manager, the scrum master and the black belt, the product owner and the customer-on-site, the technical leader and the architect, the product manager and the chief engineer. Clearly that’s too many leaders. So how many leaders should there be, what should they do, what shouldn’t they do, and what skills do they need? This will be a presentation and discussion of leadership roles in software development — what works, what doesn’t and why. Speaker: Mary Poppendieck Mary Poppendieck started her career as a process control programmer, moved on to manage the IT department of a manufacturing plant, and then ended up in product development, where she was both a product champion and department manager. Mary considered retirement 1998, but instead found herself managing a government software project where she first encountered the word “waterfall.” When Mary compared her experience in successful software and product development to the prevailing opinions about how to manage software projects, she decided the time had come for a new paradigm. She wrote the award-winning book Lean Software Development: An Agile Toolkit in 2003 to explain how the lean principles from manufacturing offer a better approach to software development.

Think of the underlying law of nature. The way of all things.
Consider its astounding inferences and implications.
The single, underlying law … of nature! Not merely of physics, chemistry, psychology, biology, etc., but of all known fields of inquiry. The law we can all relate to, identify, understand and apply.
Ask yourself. What is the underlying law of nature?
Delight in the question. Have fun in the process of finding the answer firsthand for yourself.
Google it, as a start.
very good talk. Lots of examples, I love learning from examples.
I would like someone to video a few actual projects in progress and then put the best bits on youtube. A bit like Ripple Down Rules, where good ideas get linked to examples. Not just one or two, but a few hundred.
this is an excellent guide! good stuff
great talk on overall leadership. Her experience shows in the way she explains everything.
Searching for a developer!
Awesome. Thanks
It is so deep!
Nice work. keep it up. mean time come for social media marketing for esteembpo**com FGITRU
Awesome presentation. I love it when guides provides us with a historic context for it is so important in understanding what has already been tried, what failed, what succeeded, etc.
I would replace the marketing leader with one that is as much a marketing expert as a philanthropic philosopher to ensure that the developed product-services are as much “needed-required” as they are wanted-indemand.
Thx again for sharing this with us Mme.
More than brilliant, it sounds realy easy to understand, i also like hostory and sounds like i am going to hear it to the end(it is buffering and hence i have paused it)
very good video ,,,, thankz to all
5 stars! She’s a great story teller! Definitely worth watching the whole show! She explains in detail the 5 leadership roles for a successful product development project.
The only part I am a bit skeptical about is the reluctance to hire consultants. While the organization does have to learn by itself, I don’t see anything wrong with getting some help at the beginning, especially considering what a difficult journey such a transition is.
This. Is. AMAZING. What a remarkably clear, and exceptionally well-presented discussion. I am very glad I took the time to watch this video. I feel like it took me from 0 to 60 in understanding the importance of business process management—and how not to shoot myself in the foot with it!
