This reminds me very much of the one page processes used by Toyota in the TPS. Maybe we should try this out with software too. I’m not the first one to come up with that stunning revelation – a lot of folks who are adopting lean approaches are experimenting with similar ideas.

Check it out. It’s definitely worth a read.
