Scrum or Kanban - That is the Question!

Rebecca Bennett PMP| Investors.com Los Angeles, Ca, United States

A great article that explains the difference and how you can combine the best of both worlds. I used this approach for managing my software development team and it works fabulously! "The Constraints of SCRUM – Why it might make sense for your team to switch to a SCRUM-BAN Approach?"

I think there are many approaches that can be mixed and blended to work in your particular organization.

The line of thinking is as Stéphane stated above. I really exhausted from more than 20 years ago to spend time explaining to the same people that hired me to implement agile at all level about agile is not what they think it is. Scrum-ban is other buzzword. Scrum is not a method. Scrum is a framework you can fill which what best fits to use into your initiative taking into account your organizational architecture mainly the business architecture layer (Strategy, Style, Staff, Shared Values (Culture), Systems (not software only), Skills). We need to stop using buzzwords because it does not help to people like me that are working with agile and people who are trying to find a new job.

A good PM will pick and choose tools & techniques from a variety of sources to define the best set for a given project. Scrum-ban does take a best of two worlds approach but is still only the right answer in specific contexts.

I think that ever single situation need a different approach. And maybe your question can become something like "Scrum AND kanban - Why not"?
