in development of any kind of products, ranging from mobile applications to consumer electronics that contain software technology. The book includes a “Mobile Software Development Project Case Study” to better explain how to overcome the most common project challenges such as:

- Business units and upper management always want to get innovative and high-quality products within tight project deadlines and limited budgets

- Despite all their hard work, project teams are blamed for not being able to meet expectations and especially criticized for not delivering fast enough

- Competitors release a product earlier and get competitive advantage

- Business units always ask for CRs (change requests) without considering their impacts

- Business units and developers don’t want to read requirements documents

- Project managers may not play an active role in management of conflicts with business units, managers and developers

- Business units usually focus on nice-to-have features rather than must-have ones

- Users don’t /can’t use most of product features due to complexity

There is a misperception that lean approach is only applicable for start-ups and small-scale companies that usually don’t have enough technical and financial resources for product development. On the contrary, C-suite executives and managers of companies of all sizes should apply lean approach in transforming their enterprise operating models to:

- foster innovation,

- achieve faster time to market, and

- prevent waste and improve profitability.
