Many visualization tools offer software professionals insights to large-scale system architectures. However, despite recent advances in the software-visualization field and significant investments in constructing effective tools, few of these tools have a prominent effect on the software industry. The authors analyze the possible causes of this state of affairs, based on their industry experience. They argue for framing visualization tool adoption in a lean development setting as a value-added versus waste proposition. They examine this model for three types of potential visualization stakeholders: technical users, project managers, and consultants. For each stakeholder type, they observe different values and waste definitions and derive potential adoption guidelines for visualization tools.
