From the page: "When I start talking about speeding up work and reducing variability in lead time to a group of software developers, the initial reaction is often, �oeWe can�t do that. This is knowledge work. You can�t reduce variability in the work itself. The hard stuff just takes longer and the easy stuff is shorter.” This is often followed by, �oeYou don�t want to take the creativity out of our work”, or �oeYou can�t treat us like machines.” So, it is important to point out up front that I agree with all of these statements. So, why would you want to shorten and reduce variability in lead times and how can you reduce lead time and variability without inhibiting the creativity required to do the work."
