This document discusses lean-agile thinking and Scrum. It summarizes that Scrum resolves complexity through empirical process control and expressing agile values. Scrum promotes bottom-up thinking with top-down support to discover what works best. Transitioning to agile requires changing a company's core culture from its current "as-is" state to a new "should-be" state. The path between these states shows the agile transition path. The document recommends starting with Scrum fundamentals and growing to professional Scrum by implementing Scrum's mechanics, values and principles, and technical excellence.
