.tune - Eliminate Waste in SW Development
summary
Claims measurable waste reduction: a program of deep observations spends 60–90 minutes at dev desks, records task flows and feedback, and surfaces concrete fixes such as one-line automation, test refactoring and CI queuing reductions. Pilot teams report >20% development waste removal, one 40‑person team projects 22,000 hours saved (~€600k) and a feature estimate cut from 23 to 12 months. Methods include observation + anonymous surveys, coaching to scale, shift-left quality fixes, privacy compliance checks and open‑source tooling like smart test ordering. Score and uptake drive further rollout.
