We minimize waiting and rework and use documents and prototypes to
turn ideas into concrete solutions.
Lean Startup is a small learning cycle of “Build, Measure, Learn” that teams repeat rapidly to minimize waste and bring a startup closer to success.
At VeBuIn, we apply Lean Startup methods to minimize waste.
Specifically, in system development projects, we create prototypes and mockups that are easy for users to visualize in addition to the relevant documents. We align our understanding through repeated reviews before handing the work over to the development process.

What Waste Should Be Minimized in a System Development Project?
A system development project may involve anywhere from a few to dozens of system engineers during its execution. As a result, substantial waste can occur if the project is not carried out through appropriate steps.
The most difficult challenge in a system development project is deciding what should be built. Using Lean Startup methods, we repeatedly validate and communicate through prototypes to minimize the following forms of waste.
Waiting
Time spent by assigned developers waiting because what needs to be built has not been clearly defined
Rework
Corrections and redevelopment caused by building from ambiguous requirements that do not align with user needs
Overproduction
Development of system functions that are ultimately unused because user needs were not fully understood
Mismatched Developers
Assigning developers who are not needed to execute the project
Frequent Defects
System correction work caused by frequent defects when insufficient effort is allocated to testing
After clarifying the functions to be developed through prototypes, mockups, and documents, we hand the work over to the development Scrum development process. When additions or changes are needed, they are handled in subsequent development sprints. This makes it possible to minimize waste across the entire project.
