Lean management or agile? The right answer may be both

July 14, 2020 | McKinsey Article

Agile is more recent, originating in software development in the 1990s accelerating after the release of the Agile Manifesto in 2001. Over the past decade, agile has rapidly expanded into other industries, such as telecommunications and banking—and, more recently, heavy industry projects such as mining and oil and gas.

Rather than the traditional process of developing a new product or service—which used to be highly sequential —agile is much quicker and more flexible. Agile models call for iterative development that aims to get an early prototype of a new product or a module of it or service out into customers’ hands as quickly as possible. Teams then capture feedback and iterate via quick cycles, refining the product or service over time. Agile approaches have since expanded beyond the realm of product development, and actual delivery of the product is also occurring in agile way in big projects. 

Lean production uses small batches. Hence, agile deliveries can take place for big orders.

Kaizen using sprints is mentioned in this article.
