This user group was formed by several technical trainers and coaches of Net Objectives who are active on the site, however, it is open to all.
It is called "Lean Programming" because Net Objectives believes that the philosophy and paradigm of Lean is useful in software development. Therefore this user group is primarily for discussing software development in a Lean-Agile manner. However, any design, code or test question is welcome.
