Abstract
The application of agile software methods and more
recently the integration of Lean practices contribute to
the trend of continuous improvement in the software
industry. One such area warranting proper empirical
evidence is a project's operational efficiency when using
the Kanban method. This short paper takes a new angle and
explores waste in the Kanban-driven software development
project context. A preliminary research model is
presented for helping the consequent replication of the
study. The results from the empirical analysis suggest
Kanban can be an effective method in visualizing and
organizing the current work, but does not prevent waste
from creeping in, although the overall project outcome
may be successful. (18 refs.)
