'The whole Lean and Agile field explained in an easy to read e-book. I'm impressed'
Marcus Bergman - Managing Partner Lean Six Sigma Partners

You have probably heard of Lean and Agile. But did you know that they are both about trust by assuming positive intent? But what is Lean? And what is Agile? How does Scrum work? Is the Agile Coach a Scrum Master plus? You can read all about it in this light-hearted e-book.

Lean has become prominent in manufacturing. Process optimization and reducing waste are central. Agile working is more common in the office environment, especially in places where digital products are being developed.

Agile is essentially about acquiring agility and resilience in an increasingly rapidly changing world. Responding to change is becoming the norm. But how do you do this? The Scrum framework translates the Lean and Agile mindset into an effective way of working. And just to be clear: Scrum is not only suitable for IT teams.

This eBook is a comprehensive introduction to the world of 'iterative and incremental development'. Its straightforward format is very suitable for managers and team coaches who want to know more about the similarities and differences between Lean and Agile. And what Scrum actually is. But even if you are already familiar with Lean, Agile, Scrum and/or Kanban, this book is guaranteed to provide surprising new insights.
