Explain Muda (Waste) with three software development examples
Tests your ability to apply Lean's 'Muda' (waste) concept to software. A good answer defines Muda, then gives 3 examples like partially done work or extra features, with specific mitigations like WIP limits or YAGNI. A red flag is giving generic examples.
This tests your ability to apply abstract Lean principles, specifically 'Muda' (waste), to concrete software development realities. A strong answer defines Muda as non-value-adding activity, then provides three software examples (e.g., partially done work, gold plating, context switching) and pairs each with a specific mitigation (e.g., WIP limits, YAGNI, focus time). The main red flag is listing generic business wastes or failing to connect the identified software waste to a concrete, actionable practice for reducing it.
