G3 Model: A Practical Lean Approach
summary
Describes a third generation G3 model that combines horizontal specialist teams (UX, data, devops SWAT) embedded into feature teams, claims a past project ballooned from ~24,000 to ~177,000 mandays in planning with 40–50% scope reappearance per release, measures waste to show delivery at only ~45% efficiency (roughly 50% useful throughput), then cuts headcount by half while keeping throughput after devops automation, dashboards, tracked technical debt and an operating model that commits to measurable cost savings.
