Topic: Collaboration of Agile and Lean Methodology in the IT Industry
Getting Started with Your Problem Statement
There is a problem with the scaling of the collaboration of the Lean and Agile
methodologies in the area of project management.
Despite the use of different kinds of strategies that are used within the Agile and Lean
methodologies, there is a huge form of challenge for maintaining a balance between cost
effective ways and compromising on the quality of products, which is occurring.
This problem has negatively affected the people within the IT based firms within the
supply chain market.
A possible cause of this problem is within the planning of business strategies within the
various firms.
If we don’t solve it would lead to compromising of the quality of products, which will
happen.
Perhaps research that investigates on the blending of lean and agile methodologies
could remedy this situation.
