This has driven the development of a number of modern software development strategies to address the issue: Among them is streamline development-an in-house development framework at Ericsson AB inspired by lean principles. In this paper we explore the development life cycle of a feature to identify the possible bottlenecks-a term used in lean development denoting interruptions, rework or any activities that hinder the development process hence an increase in lead time. This paper is based on a case study carried out at one of the development units at Ericsson AB. The results presented here are after a qualitative interview study with one cross function team using streamline development framework. Using lean as a theoretical base, the results show that: process perception, feature context, competence, task switching, long communication chains, evaluation considerations, feedback and poor documentation are some of the possible bottlenecks that can increase the lead time of a software project.
