Introducing Controlled Burn™
Controlled Burn™ is a hands-on development approach that allows design and implementation in a controlled manner when the “unknowns” are huge and you need to make steady, consistent and measurable progress
It is incremental discovery and fast feedback software development using the tools of Lean User Experience (UX) Design and Lean Engineering
You get results early, for a modest cost, that you can test and further evolve with your customers
The Nucleus of Controlled Burn
1. Incremental discovery of requirements
2. Cost containment to a fixed monthly budget while leveraging highly-skilled offshore resources
3. Bite-size chunks of development where you can make changes agilely, in real time, making every hour and dollar spent work hard for you
Incrementalism & Discovery
Our Clients can start small and move forward in incremental steps
Progress is steady, and each step is tested and measured
Most importantly, the entire initiative is controlled to remain
within a pre-established budget
Principles of Lean Thinking
Value
• Specify the value desired by the customer
Eliminate Waste in the Stream
• Identify the value stream for each product providing value and challenge all of the wasted steps (usually lots) currently necessary to provide it
Continuous Flow
• Make the product flow continuously through the remaining value-added steps
Pull
• Introduce pull between all steps where continuous flow is possible
Pursue Perfection
• Manage toward perfection so that the number of steps, and the amount of time and information needed to serve the customer continually falls
Conclusion
Controlled Burn is about controlling costs and getting early results
It establishes a budget that you can afford and adjusts what you can build and when you can deliver
Controlled Burn focuses on early wins and eliminating waste
When you make measurable progress and your requirements become clear, you can increase your burn to deliver more or earlier
