Why are a couple of books any kind of evidence that "Lean" is more than a buzzword? Airport book stores have many buzzword books for sale :-)

  This may come as a surprise, but if you open a book you will find it has contents. You can even read them if you want. It is the contents of those books I was referring people to.

    Perhaps you find the idea of clarifying your comment surprising and that's why you respond with sarcasm. Why do you think - fellow developers worried that "Lean" is just a buzzword - would be willing to invest their time reading books about something they are already worried is just a buzzword?

      Because some people know the difference between leaping to a conclusion and learning a little something before they make up their mind. And because many developers would sincerely like to improve the way they work, giving the motivation to seek out new approaches.

        We have limited time. There are more new approaches than we have time to evaluate. Should choose which approaches to evaluate based on whether someone's selling a book and a training course?
