Ty explains how these methods address the challenges of overloaded marketing teams and Brooks law's impact on team complexity.

The episode distinguishes between Lean Process Redesign's emphasis on streamlining current processes to remove waste and Agile Marketing's focus on small, cross-functional teams delivering incremental customer value through feedback.

It concludes with additional resources for implementing these techniques and the importance of continuous optimisation whether in Lean or Agile frameworks.
