The document discusses applying lean and agile principles beyond software development projects. It provides examples of using lean and agile in oil and gas, e-learning, and manufacturing projects. While lean and agile have been successful, challenges include resistance to change, lack of resources and awareness, and whether self-organized teams can work in all contexts. A hybrid approach combining traditional and modern methods may be most effective. Universities and continued learning are important to advancing the use of lean and agile principles in different project types and industries.
