Background:
Lean Software Development (LSD) aims for improvement, yet this improvement requires measures to identify whether a difference has been achieved, and provide decision support for further improvement.
Objective:
This study identifies measures and indicators proposed in literature on LSD, then structures them according to ISO/IEC 15939, allowing for comparability due to a use of a standard.
Method:
Systematic mapping is the research methodology.
Result:
The published literature on LSD measures has significantly increased since 2010. The two pre-dominant study types are evaluation research and experience reports. 22 base measures, 13 derived measures, and 14 indicators were identified.
Conclusion:
Gaps exist with respect to LSD principles. In particular:
deferring commitment
,
respecting people
and
knowledge creation
. The principle of
delivering fast
is well supported.
