Does Agile need Lean Six Sigma type metrics to work? How do you obtain Voice of Customer in Agile processes when you are the size of Xerox? How does pair programming work? In the Business901 podcast, we asked these questions to a couple of the leading experts from Xerox Corporation’s Lean Six Sigma Software team. And they did not disappoint me with the answers.
