Definition:

Another practical Agile requirement tip is to first prototype UIs and UI navigation in collaboration with clients, using paper, pen, sticky notes, and so forth. This well-known techniques goes by names, created by Luke Hohmann “GUIs with Glue”. In this techniques, we represent web pages and windows on large sheets of paper with small blue sheets on them to convey the information and pink sticky notes to represent the UI of the product.

To quickly model navigation between web pages or windows, sketch a UML statechart  diagram on the sheet, where the states represent the windows or pages, and the transition events showcase the UI navigation gestures. For example: Clicking a Button

Overview:

The Lean Leadership Development Model (LLDM) presented in this book is intuitive, and aligns well with accepted principles of operational excellence. It expands significantly on the elements of Lean, structuring them in a more specific way that can be operationalized by lean practitioners.

You can learn everything you want about the Toyota Way; you can implement the tools they have created, but if you do not have the behaviors established within your culture, it will not be successful for long-term sustainment of operational excellence. Leadership must walk the talk of true north in every aspect of the Lean Leadership Development Model (LLDM) as conveyed in detail by Dr. Liker in this recent Shingo Award Winning Book.

In Developing Lean Leaders at all Levels we build on the theory in the original book, The Toyota Way to Lean Leadership, and answer the questions: How can I apply this in my organization? What concrete actions can I take to begin the journey of becoming a lean leader? How can I spread this learning to all parts of the organization? What critical tools are needed to turn the theory to practice? This book adds examples from over twenty years of experience by Dr. Liker in working with companies outside of Toyota.
