Agile! Agile is the solution for reducing the waste, we make in follow-up(s). Sometimes, we over-do follow-up to make sure we are getting the expected result on time. What a waste!
Agile relies on self-driven team. No boss-around from the bosses. The team is responsible for their work completion. This increases sense of ownership...team is well-organized, settled.

But then again, Lean or SCRUM?

Lean and SCRUM are mindset, thought process. This is not a short-term cost reduction program or short term idea of getting customer appreciation. It is the way company operates to create more value to the customer. Lean transformation is to how company changes their business operation from old way of thinking to lean thinking, reduce waste, come to zero waste.

SCRUM starts at the team, lean starts at the process. SCRUM talks about self organizing team. There are specific meetings in SCRUM (Stand-up meeting, retrospective), that automatically lead the team to take ownership of work. Team does the estimation for a work. So, if the work is not completed on time (I am thinking no major blocker), team is answerable. This creates value-system. Team will gradually hate follow-up.
Lean talks about set of engineering practices to reduce waste.
