What is agile and what is lean? How much agile is possible in a safety critical development in a car, plane, medical device? What are the principles of lean and is it possible to be lean and agile at the same time? Is just implementing SCRUM already covering the principles of agile and Lean or probably not?
Agile and/or lean principles work differently in different domains: IT service, Automotive, production of components etc.
