Summary This book explores the application of agile and lean techniques, originally from the field of software development and manufacturing, to various aspects of education.

Demonstrating how agile and lean ideas can concretely be applied to education, the book offers practical guidance on how to apply these ideas in the classroom or lecture hall, as well as new concepts that could spark further research and development
