Push to Pull: How Lean Concepts Improve a Data Migration

A complex Enterprise Relationship Planning (ERP) data migration was in trouble: low quality, poor performance, instability, and an overworked team threatened project success. Facing failure, a small group of the original developers achieved a tremendous turnaround by applying Lean and Theory of Constraints (TOC) concepts directly to the data migration architecture. Their success shows how agile applies beyond software development, and can help others look for new ways to solve problems.
