These teams adopt the Lean and Agile values, principles and practices.
That having weekly planning cadences; daily standups, reviews, and retrospectives would give people a reason to get in the same room and collaborate. It is possible to do Scrum by the book and not create the results. Implementing Scrum or XP or Lean Startup on top of a tightly coupled legacy mainframe system is a recipe for disaster.

John Boddie’s book, Crunch Mode: Building Effective Systems on a Tight Schedule , provides a recipe for doing this on purpose. With Basecamp One as a foundation, the organization can begin to incorporate further agile and lean ideas and grow toward greater business agility. Conventional project-centric measures will be retired.
SAFe’s e-book Agile at Scale: Making the Case for Business Agility describes an organization that’s achieved business agility as behaving more like a living organism than a machine. Intuit’s innovation success was also featured in Eric Reis’ book The Lean Startup (Crown Business, 2011).
Anderson best articulated its application to software development, in 2013, in the foundational book Kanban: Successful Evolutionary Change for Your Technology Business, and its adoption hasn’t been as universal as Scrum’s during the early days of Agile software development. Compared to Scrum, Kanban is a young work-management method.

You get super clear backlogs, you find out what the real cadences you’ve finished work that you start.
