I like Scrum but

Jim: Now weve finally gone all-out Scrum!


Fred: So hows it going?
Jim: Well, its a lot better than what we

had

before
Fred: ...but?
Jim: ... but you see we are a support &
maintenance team
Fred: yes, and?
Jim: We keep failing our sprints
Fred: Why?
Jim: We just work on whatever is most urgent for
today
Fred: Have you heard of2 Kanban?

Scrum in a few words

Split

your organization into small, crossfunctional, self- organizing teams


Split your work into a list of small, concrete
deliverables, sort by priority and estimate the
effort
Split time into short fixed-length iterations, to
produce something to be shown at the end
Optimize the release plan and update
priorities in collaboration with the customer,
and learning from iterations
Optimize the process by having a
retrospective after each iteration.

Kanban in a few words

testlefnica I+D

Kanban is less prescriptive

It does not prescribe any role


No timeboxed iterations
Cross-functional teams are optional
There is no product backlog
Task size is not limited
Daily meetings are not prescribed
No type of charts
