Agile Business Change Blog Thoughts on Agile Strategic Business Change and Agile Delivery

We're often asked what we consider to be the difference between Lean and Agile, and if you ask 5 different people around our office, you'll get 5 different answers. (Actually, if you ask the same person 5 times you'll probably get 5 different answers - depending on who it is you're asking).

So we thought we'd state explicitly our views on the topic. Simply put, there is no difference between Lean and Agile.

Well address this in more detail over the coming months.
