Agile is an umbrella that comes with diverse frameworks that allow groups to acquire the blessings of patron satisfaction, turning in costs incrementally and frequently, decreasing comments loop, and so on. Check out why Kanban can be a better agile approach than scrum for your project?

1. Why can Kanban be a better Agile Approach
than Scrum for your project?

2. SUMMERY
If your challenge needs non-stop delivery ( perhaps 1-2 releases each 2-three days ), in
case your group can not plan an iteration, if there are a very good quantity of advert
hoc necessities coming your manner withinside the projects, when you have a non-
stop influx of work, then Scrum isn't your framework to go, and also you have to strive
KANBAN as your Agile approach.
Also, KANBAN does now no longer prescribe any roles like Scrum Master / Product
Owner even as they're mapped to “Service Delivery Manager,” who manages the float
of work, and “Service Request Manager,” who manages the necessities a part of the
challenge. Choosing SCRUM / or KANBAN essentially relies upon on some elements like
Project Delivery needs, Nature of the necessities, group allocation, Team`s agile
maturity, and Technical help for delivery ( Automation and DevOps ).

3. Agile is a set of principles that helps deliver value to the customer incrementally. Agile
in an umbrella which comes with various frameworks that enable teams to reap the
benefits of customer satisfaction, delivering value incrementally and frequently,
reduced feedback loop, and so on.
Embracing Agile ways of working means implementing one of its frameworks for your
project delivery or selecting a mix of various frameworks and practices identified for
your context by an agility health assessment conducted from an agile consulting
perspective. The most commonly used Agile frameworks are SCRUM and KANBAN.
Both of which comes with its own set of practices, checklists, and boards.

4. General Pitfall
When it comes to Agile Adoption, companies tend to implement SCRUM in their projects
because it is more popular, and they struggle because, prima facie, the framework chosen
might not fit their need or cater to their project type. SCRUM does have its advantages
because of its simplicity, but it might not cater to all the projects.
If your project demands continuous delivery ( maybe 1-2 releases every 2-3 days ), if your
team cannot plan an iteration, if there are a good amount of ad hoc requirements coming
your way in the projects, if you have a continuous inflow of work, then Scrum is not your
framework to go, and you should try KANBAN as your Agile approach.
Understanding the suitability of the approach is one of the first aspects of our usual agile
consulting engagements.
Kanban is a lean-agile framework which focuses on visualizing the flow of work and
continuously delivering the value by monitoring the flow and changing it to deliver
maximum value. Kanban is about creating a workflow for the development team to
visualize how the work moves from “To Do” to “DONE”.

5. Team members use Kanban Boards to see/visualize what work is in
what state, which helps them to prioritize work completion.
Kanban emphasizes work completion and streamlining the
workflow and continues to move work items to the Done state at
the earliest. Kanban helps teams identify potential blockages or
bottlenecks, enabling teams to analyze and remove them before it
becomes a concern for delivery.
Unlike Scrum, Kanban does not have ceremonies like Sprint
Planning, Review, Refinement, and Retrospective. Kanban Teams
generally follow Daily Stand-Ups to discuss the progress and
impediments. Also, KANBAN does not prescribe any roles like
Scrum Master / Product Owner while they are mapped to “Service
Delivery Manager,” who manages the flow of work, and “Service
Request Manager,” who manages the requirements part of the
project.

6. The Kanban method is motivated by ‘mutual respect for the entire team and is based
on nine Kanban values, namely :
 Transparency
 Balance
 Collaboration
 Customer Focus
 Workflow
 Leadership
 Understanding
 Agreement & Respect
These Kanban values form the core of Kanban and are crucial in implementing
kanban in any team or organization.
When to Choose Kanban?
As mentioned earlier, SCRUM might not suit all projects. Choosing SCRUM / or
KANBAN basically depends on a few aspects like Project Delivery needs, Nature of the
requirements, team’s allocation, Team’s agile maturity, and Technical support for
delivery ( Automation and DevOps ).

Here are a few pointers which will help you choose Kanban as your delivery
framework

7. ● Customer/Project demands continuous delivery than delivery through
iterations ( Continuous Inflow of work and Continuous outflow of delivery )
● When the requirements are changing frequently
● When there are a good amount of ad hoc requirements
● When your team cannot plan for iterations ( Plan and Deliver )
● When your team’s agile maturity is good. When your team can pull work
rather than waiting for someone to assign work
● When your team has a dynamic allocation to the project
● When there is enough tech support ( Automation and DevOps ) to cater
to continuous delivery
● When your project does not demand any dedicated roles like Product
Owner, Scrum master to play or monitor the project
Conclusion

8. Choosing a framework which best suits your project is a key step before your
team starts development. Not all projects can be delivered with SCRUM.
Both Scrum and Kanban has its pros and cons and are selected on the basis of
what kind of delivery is needed, your team dynamics, and the customer
needs. We hope this material helps the readers to understand the fact that
Agile is not equal to Scrum, and there are other frameworks like KANBAN,
which is also an Agile framework that may suit your project based on the
above factors.
