ABSTRACT
What about the long-term results? e companies featured here have ve years of experience with Lean Product Development, on average. As of April 2012, all of the Lean Product Development practices that you will nd in this book are still in use within these companies. All of them have seen their e§orts bear fruit-some of them for many years now. For some of these companies, Lean has just become the way that things get done, and no one can imagine what it would be like to do product development in a di§erent way.
