Lean approaches ensure that managers or developers can deliver on their objectives faster due to efficient flow and minimal work in process. Agile teams leverage a diversity of skills and talents to deliver quality work (Rikkilä, 2013). Agile engineers test and collect feedback on project design and divide the work into measurable tasks to ensure greater accuracy and speedy completion of product development cycles (Hui, 2013). This report examines different lean and agile engineering approaches and describes how they are applied in real-world scenarios, focusing on the automobile industry.
