Waste Management in Lean Frameworks
Lean works to cut down on waste, which saves your company money. There are seven different wastes that can be eliminated by adapting the lean framework: transport, or moving the product from one process to the next, which adds no value to the end product; overproduction, which creates more cost and hinders the flow of materials; waiting, which occurs when processes are waiting for each other; unnecessary inventory, which hides problems and if problems are hidden, they can’t be solved; unnecessary processing, or using overcomplicated, expensive equipment to do a simple job; unnecessary motion of machines or employees, which, like transport, adds no value to the end product; and defects, which are minimized by strict quality control and standardized work plans.

User Stories Applied
A 59 Seconds Agile Book Review
User Stories Applied by Mike Cohn is one of our favourite books on Agile User Stories. The book starts with an overview into user stories, and details what a user story is and the different aspects of them.
