Making the Numbers Count
In these pages, Maskell provides the rationale, approaches, and tools needed to embrace a companywide allegiance to
lean principles and practices. The book is updated throughout to reflect recent advances. Notably, it eliminates
activity-based costing and management (ABC/M) in favor of the much more expedient value-stream accounting methods
that have been tried and tested in diverse companies over the last ten years.

A Tale of Two Systems
Reviews two different fictional systems development projects: Cremins United (CU) and Troubled Real Estate
Information Management (TRIM). Both were done at the imaginary Cremins Corporation, a venerable printing company
trying to transform itself to survive in the Internet age. The Cremins United project was an abject, expensive
failure, while TRIM succeeded in creating a major new revenue stream and solving important customer needs. One
project was done in a traditional, process-centric 'waterfall' approach, the other according to lean and
agile principles and techniques. By reviewing the tale of these two archetypical systems,
readers will develop a better understanding of what works and what doesn't and become better prepared to
implement successful systems development projects.
