Information Technology

The transformative global economy posed challenges to businesses in service management. In this
computing age, the perceptual and operational edge of a certain business or organization manifested on
the kind of technology it offers in the Service Management. Organizations have long recognized the
importance of managing key resources such as people and information. Information has now moved to its
rightful place as a key resource in the organization and therefore management of the same can be
instituted by employing methodology. To keep their brand promise, technology has been used;The
number of new entrants to every sectors of economy has grown significantly in recent years, and each
firm strives to make their daily operation efficient in which demand for business software or application
software getting higher and businesses or organizations opted to build or buy this software. Because of
new entrants, it had offered opportunity to software developers to translate business processes into
systems. This study investigates waste in the software development by application of Lean principles. Like
any conventional projects, software becomes buggy and oftentimes it fails. Software failure is always
attributed to the software engineering, not the incompetence of project managers, inadequacy of the
people on the project, or lack of clear goal. The researchers’ contentions are there wastes in the
software development and serve as mechanism and evidence to why software fails. Software failure is not
attributed to the software itself, it includes however the acceptance of the clients and end-users.
Descriptive secondary data analysis, participant observation and Fishbone Analysis were the
methodology used in the study. Wastes include unfinished or partially done work, extra features,
relearning, handoffs, delays, task switching, and defects.
