These three ultimate aims serve as “stretch goals” that enable the improvement of software development and delivery. Notably these are aims and directions, not destinations. In the spirit of continuous improvement, you always have room to improve and are never “done”. You are either continuously improving or regressing.
The world of technology is changing continuously. This means implementations, tools and technical practices vary almost infinitely. However, the overall goal of any practice or implementation in lean software engineering should be aligned with moving projects and teams in the direction of these aims.
1. Clear Continuous Feedback: Meaningful feedback about changes that are delivered quickly and continuously. A person can only safely move as fast as they can comprehend the impact their changes have on a system.
2. Great Development Experience: Frictionless interaction with tools, frameworks, and platforms that are used to create value. Friction really matters when trying to make people more productive. Developers and operators are people too, the better the experience they have; the more productive they become.
3. High User Satisfaction: Users enjoy using our products, tools and services. Solutions are focused on solving their problems and we listen to their feedback.
