Hands-On Software Engineering with Golang

Respect and empower people

Lean development endeavors to improve the development teams' working environment by filtering out unneeded sources of distraction that increase the cognitive load on engineers and can eventually lead to burnouts.

What's more, by discouraging micro-management and encouraging teams to self-organize, team members can feel more motivated and empowered. The Poppendiecks believe that engaged and empowered people can be more productive; ergo, they can bring more value to the team and, by extension, to the company that they are a part of.
