I've blogged about this: Big in Japan
It has been really a great presentation.
A couple of months ago, some lead engineer died from overwork at Toyota. The Japanese language even has the term Karōshi for that. So, besides all the nice lean concepts, it appears that one person carries much of the responsibility to make a new car model successful. Team effort may be one success factor, but still there seems to be a dependency on a few key players as well.
I watched this presentation with awe. It is superbly structured, wonderfully delivered and could not have been better. Thanks to both of you, I refreshed my core concepts of Lean in just an hour. Keep it up.
Brian Marick takes us through a quick tour of the most important values and challenges to adopting Agile successfully (they aren't the typical challenges and values we hear in the community).
The line between development and architecture is tricky. Does it exist at all? Is an ivory tower actually needed? There's a balance in the middle, but how do you move from developer to architect?

SpringSource CTO Adrian Colyer discusses AspectJ, SpringSource's dm Server and tc Server products, OSGi and Scrum.
Heroku's Adam Wiggins talks about Rails, Background Jobs, Add-Ons, Ruby, and how Heroku manages to work around Ruby's inefficiencies using Erlang and other languages.
For Grady Booch the foundation of a good architecture is patterns, SOA being just one of many patterns. In this Second Life presentation, Booch attempts to bring more clarity on what architecture is.
