Kanban and Scrum Part 1
Agile is a set of ideas and principles that help us approach project management and software development in an iterative way. It helps teams deliver value to their customers faster and with fewer headaches. Requirements, plans, and results are evaluated continuously so teams have a natural mechanism for responding to change quickly. If you want to know more about it, the following article can help you:
Kanban is a popular framework used to implement software using agile methodologies. Work items are represented visually on a board, allowing team members to see the state of every piece of work at any time.
Scrum is a lightweight framework that helps people, teams, and organizations generate value through adaptive solutions for complex problems. It replaces a programmed algorithmic approach with a heuristic one.
While the practices differ, the principles are largely the same. Both frameworks will help you build better products with fewer headaches.
Kanban is about visualizing the work, limiting work in progress, and maximizing efficiency. Kanban teams focus on reducing the time a project takes from start to finish. They do this by using the Kanban board. Boards use cards, columns, and continuous improvement to help dev teams commit to the right amount of work, and get it done.
Scrum teams commit to shipping working software through set intervals called sprints. They aim to create learning loops to gather and integrate customer feedback quickly. Scrum teams adopt specific roles, create special artifacts, and hold regular ceremonies to keep things moving forward.
The best part is that Scrum teams can use Kanban and Scrum at the same time.
