 Introduction
The more I learn about Lean, the more I realize how much we can learn from Lean teachings and how they apply to software development practices. Typically, we go about our day-to-day activities without thinking about the bigger picture. Lean specifically addresses the complete end-to-end process with the view of enhancing cycle time and quality.

It is important to note that summary tasks in Project are not productive tasks but rather a visual and data summary of the subtasks under them.

 One of the most useful ways to define an approach is to contrast it with other established approaches. This is particularly true in information technology where many approaches offer similar benefits – increased agility, operational efficiency, reduced costs etc. Decision Management is often compared with Operational Business Intelligence and with Business Process Management. Because Decision Management uses Business Rules and Data Mining or Business Analytics it is also compared with these approaches individually. While there are similarities in each case, and while the benefits overlap, there are crucial differences.
