WLEI - Lean Enterprise Institute's Podcast

In this episode of the WLEI podcast, we speak with Regis Megina, a software industry veteran who has undergone a journey from Agile to Lean. Regis shares insights on:

• How he transitioned from early frustrations with waterfall development to embracing Agile and Extreme Programming

• The challenges he faced in spreading these new ideas, and why he ultimately sought a deeper understanding of Lean principles

• Regis' current work applying Lean Thinking to startups and scale-ups, including creating educational materials and training programs

• The importance of continuous learning, technical mastery, and developing team capabilities - rather than just focusing on process improvement tools.
