Yes! In a nutshell, Lean is based on systems thinking, whereas Agile is based on design thinking. Both methods aim to provide clients with a high-quality product rapidly, one iteration (or sprint) at a time. Many who aim to practice either Lean or Agile methods do not have a clear understanding of the differences between the goals and principles of Lean vs. Agile. A failure to understand the principles behind the methodology can lead to shallow implementations, which means the ideal outcome will not be achieved.
Teams that clearly understand both Agile and Lean will be more successful, and can even hybrid their approach to enjoy the benefits of both methodologies.
