Partial methodology based on maximizing the elimination of waste. This includes both overt waste, such as the production of unnecessary or defective items, and hidden waste, such as changes in customer vision.
Software code that, while still functional, was developed using outdated technologies or practices, making it difficult to understand, maintain, and integrate with modern systems. It is often inherited from past versions or other teams, lacks proper documentation, and lacks automated tests, which hinders modification and extension. Dealing with legacy code presents challenges for developers, including increased risk of bugs and slowdowns in development, requiring careful strategies like testing, refactoring, or gradual replacement to modernize the system.
