> inventory which mostly doesn't apply in a software development context
I heard a guy (a Factorio youtuber who was manager in his dayjob, haha) say that it did apply indeed, if you see inventory as "what has been produced but not shipped, stuff for which the value has not been delivered for", in software context that being unreleased features. It made a lot of sense, and ties all nicely into the notions of short iterations and release early, release often. That was interesting.
- ghaff 7y agoI don't disagree. Hence my "mostly" qualifier. One can certainly imagine processes that lead to a lot of unintegrated components, code that should be "done" but won't pass tests, etc. It's still rather different from manufacturing inventory management but it's not totally unrelated either.
