Abstract
We in Huitale have implemented a lean product development process. As a result Huitale has a workflow that is predictable within acceptable variance. We can change the direction of the business at any given time but stay grounded in what we have learned. We can adjust the product roadmap visibility according to our business needs. In addition we have achieved exceptional quality. In past three years we have had two production bugs. The implementation of lean development process requires discipline and experience.
