Scrum vs. Kanban
Choosing the Right Team

• Identify holdouts
– Ron van Kemenade, CIO of ING
“Leading change requires courage,
especially in corporate environments
where people are scared and fight you.
But if you start small, you really have
nothing to fear. Any leader needs to be
brave enough to allocate teams to some
calculated risk-taking.”
