  • Abstract
    This is a report about the introduction of Agile/Lean methodologies at an Italian company producing luxury hydromassage bathtubs and showers. Initially focused on product development and portfolio management, the Agile/Lean transition has been extended to other departments of the company. This has been a significant experience in combining Agile and Lean in a non-software context.
