An anti-pattern is a commonly occurring activity that is counter-productive to the company doing it. A "Lean" anti-pattern is an anti-pattern that goes against Lean principles. That is, it violates the company’s attempts to be following Lean methods. This article contains a table of Anti-Patterns, the Lean Principles Violated, and the Result of the Anti-Pattern. It is not meant to be complete, but is a first cut at commonly occurring Lean-Anti patterns. It has been broken up into different categories since they are related to each other – one often contributing to others.
