Lean is a philosophy that emphasizes the optimization of processes to reduce waste and improve efficiency, which ultimately leads to better value for customers. The following are the steps and why it is important to learn Lean before learning Agile values and principles and to have an Agile mindset:
Define Value: The first step in Lean is to define what value means for your customers. This involves understanding their needs and preferences, and identifying what they are willing to pay for.
Example: A company that sells bicycles may define value as a lightweight, durable, and stylish bike that meets the needs of its customers.
Importance: Understanding customer value is important because it helps to focus efforts on creating products and services that meet customer needs and preferences.
Map the Value Stream: The second step is to map out the entire process that creates value for the customer. This involves identifying all the steps involved in the process and understanding how they contribute to the final product or service.
Example: In the case of the bicycle company, the value stream may involve sourcing materials, designing the bike, manufacturing, assembly, and distribution.
Importance: Mapping the value stream is important because it helps to identify waste and inefficiencies in the process, which can then be eliminated to improve efficiency and reduce costs.
Create Flow: The third step is to create a flow of work that is smooth and uninterrupted. This involves eliminating bottlenecks and ensuring that work is done in a logical sequence.
Example: In the case of the bicycle company, creating flow may involve designing a production line that is efficient and minimizes the need for manual intervention.
Importance: Creating flow is important because it helps to reduce lead times and improve overall efficiency, which ultimately leads to better value for customers.
Establish Pull: The fourth step is to establish a pull-based system where work is only done in response to customer demand. This involves creating a system that responds quickly to changes in demand.
Example: In the case of the bicycle company, establishing pull may involve creating a system where bikes are only produced when orders are received.
Importance: Establishing a pull is important because it helps to reduce inventory levels and minimize waste, which ultimately leads to better value for customers.
Pursue Perfection: The final step is to pursue continuous improvement and strive for perfection. This involves constantly looking for ways to improve the process and eliminate waste.
Example: In the case of the bicycle company, pursuing perfection may involve using new materials that are lighter and more durable, or designing new production processes that are more efficient.
Importance: Pursuing perfection is important because it helps to ensure that the organization is constantly improving and delivering better value for customers.
Learning Lean is important because it helps organizations to understand customer value, identify waste and inefficiencies in their processes, and create a culture of continuous improvement. By mastering Lean, organizations can then apply Agile values and principles, and develop an Agile mindset that is focused on delivering value to customers in an efficient and effective manner.

Lean and agile have different but compatible goals to create value for customers and to eliminate waste. Lean is a management method that examines processes and value streams to remove any activity that does not bring value to the customer or end user.
