Through a deep explanation of the fundamental Lean principles, you will learn how they translate to agile software development in order to create a strong and successful culture in your company. Process/MechanicsMany companies and teams struggle to succeed with agile. A good number of them take advantage of the facilities provided by the framework Scrum to start their agile adoption strategy, which is in fact a good way. Unfortunately, still companies fail adopting agile because they relegate the importance of the agile engineering practices to a second plan.
