Clarke Ching's excellent presentation on TOC at XP Day 4 is available here
I've spent the last week trying to understand the Theory of Constraints and how it might be applied to software development.
The Theory of Constraints approach to bottlenecks is:
1. Identify the constraint
2. Exploit the constraint
3. Subordinate everything else
4. Elevate the constraint
5. Go back to step 1
Is this all there is to it? I just bought and read David Anderson's book and that is all it seems to say. Clarke ?
