Topic 1.1 - Agile Concepts

Lean is a series of principles focused on eliminating all tasks that do not add value to what we are doing Applied to a project, which does not add value to the final product or service To do so, he visualizes  the entire process that takes place in a value chain throughout a project and, at all these points that occur, eliminates it.

What we know today as comes from "lean manufacturing", largely from Toyota,and its basic principles are: Fully customer oriented and based on building lasting relationships between customer and  suppliers.

"Agile" is a series of values and principles based on the agile manifesto. The Agile manifesto is born in the world of software development, as opposed to traditional design methodologies (long, slow,  heavy, and often with unwanted results, either by customer or vendor). The principles of agility are based on people and their relationships. Fast deliveries of the highest quality are sought, both for  product and service, so that the customer understands what is being done and brings changes that bring the product closer to what it wants and is feasible in time and cost. The lasting relationship with  him is sought after and he participates in the development of the product or service.

Lean principles help promote the necessary mindset and culture within the company. Agile is based on early deliveries that add customer value and flexibility to vary the product. Are you really the same  or see substantial differences?

I see Agile and Lean as fundamental principles from which, by selecting the most appropriate tools for each client / project / team, they can help us achieve success on each of our projects. Do you agree  or are you one who believes that it is best to follow each principle closely and use each tool strictly?
