Scrum vs Kanban
Scrum and Kanban are both methods for managing projects in the agile software development process. Here are some important differences between the two methods:
Scrum
- Scrum is a framework with defined roles, responsibilities and processes.
- It uses time boxes (sprints) to develop work products.
- Scrum focuses on continuous improvement and adaptation to changing requirements.
Kanban
- Kanban is a visual system for monitoring workflow.
- It does not set fixed time periods or sprints and instead works with a pull system where work is started only when capacity is available.
- Kanban focuses on optimizing the existing process rather than making a complete process change.
In general, it can be said that Scrum provides a structured approach for projects with changing requirements, while Kanban is a more flexible method for projects with stable requirements.
