Thriving in a Stochastic World

Explore a paradigm shift in software development processes in this thought-provoking conference talk from YOW! 2015. Delve into Don Reinertsen's alternative perspective on variability and uncertainty in product development. Learn how embracing stochasticity can lead to improved economic outcomes, challenging the traditional view that predictability is always preferable. Discover strategies for designing development processes that thrive on variability rather than merely surviving it. Gain insights from Reinertsen's extensive experience in product development management and his award-winning book "The Principles of Product Development Flow: Second Generation Lean Product Development." Examine the legacy of waterfall processes and how they continue to influence modern agile and lean methodologies. Consider a new approach to variability in schedule, performance, and cost that could revolutionize your development practices.
