In this view of both Agile maturity and scaling, Jean borrows from the Lean Thinking principles of attaining total value delivery: perfect your ability to maintain Flow of value, learn to use the principle of Pull in order to deliver even more value, and embrace an organizational imperative to Innovate so that value is forever redefined and re-emerging.
