In a previous blog article, I mentioned how I was getting back to my programming roots and reading The Principles of Product Development FLOW: Second Generation Lean Product Development by Donald G. Reinertsen. In a series of posts, I reviewed each chapter:
One of my favorite blogs is called indexed. Indexed author, Jessica Hagy, displays thought-provoking ideas on index cards.
I have done this for book reviews before, so I thought I'd try my hand at being a Jessica Hagy by providing an index card for each chapter of The Principles of Product Development FLOW: Second Generation Lean Product Development. It's all in fun.

Serious humor is alive in the lab.
