Origin

The beginning of the page (origins) is clearly wrong, since the Poppendiecks published a paper in Dr. Dobb's with the "lean" title in 2001, two years before their book, but also because there is a 1995 article by Niklaus Wirth (IEEE Computer, February) entitled "Plea for Lean Software". Of course it is not a full-fledged development method but it has many elements in common with that method, and one cannot say that the term originated with the 2003 book.

I did a SQA course in 1993 which talked about applying lean principles to software development. 07:53, 31 March 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.41.222.1 (talk)

Is this a valid wikipedia article?

Hi, I thought that in wikipedia all the statements had to have external references to back them up? This article appears to have none. It may be a great intro to Lean (reads ok) but I don't know if it has any external validity. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.59.100.28 (talk) 07:17, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
