Summary: At #LSSC!12, I had a chance to listen to Mary Poppendieck’s talk on, <a href="http://leansoftwaresystemsconferen2011.sched.org/event/32feae47a50c38740ace6641d2794bd4?iframe=yes&amp;w=990&amp;sidebar=yes&amp;bg=no#?iframe=yes&amp;w=990&amp;sidebar=yes&amp;bg=no#sched-body-outer">Continuous Feedback: Process Control for Developing Software-Intensive Systems</a>.
