... there is so much logic and "truth" in this presentation that i had to watch it twice ;-)
I for myself work too with big scale (not just software) companies to implement Agile/TOC/CCPM for over 10 years and I can state that every sentence in the presentation is absolutely right (if right is defined as fits to what I experienced in the last years).
So don't hesitate an have a look into this ToC (Theory of Constraints) stuff - it's worth - it's gamechanging :-) it's the step from local optimization to holistic thinking
cu Wolfram Müller
p.s.: if you want to can have a look into "Tame the Flow" from Steve Tendon (and a little from me) - it may be a good starting point ... or the "CIO Guide" from Mike Hannan - this is smaller and easier to read ...
