From the world of manufacturing, to Agile, to DevOps, the concept of “Kaizen” has become foundational to linking the team mentality to the long-term quality of a team’s actual output.

Literally meaning “good change,” in Japanese, in a larger sense Kaizen is a term that has come to mean continuous improvement in the world of IT and software projects.

If you think stellar, delightful, compulsive quality is important for your success – and you’d better – then the concept of Kaizen is critical to how you teach your teams, how you lead your teams, and how you perform your work.

In recent years, the wide-open marketplace and a rising Agile mentality has made it obvious that cultural elements in the workplace are just as important as specific tools and processes.

Among these cultural elements, none is more important than a well-established dedication to Continuous Improvement.

Let Chris Knotts (LinkedIn profile) help you put practical lessons in place to begin putting your continuous improvement program today!
