It is popular for its visual representation through a Kanban board that shows work items which need to be managed. Once the tasks are visualized, the Kanban methodology limits the work-in-progress.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This ensures that the teams aren\u2019t overburdened, and the workflow is smooth and without delays. Moreover, with the help of the Kanban board, the teams can regularly check the progress and make amendments to enhance the workflow.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kanban Best Practices<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Managing workflow<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visualizing the workflow<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creating feedback cycles<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Limiting the work in progress<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enhancing team collaboration<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Making clear process policies<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Example of Kanban<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s one brief example of Kanban. Assume a software development firm uses Kanban to develop a new feature. The team made three columns in the Kanban board by the following names.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To Do<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Work in Progress<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Complete\/Done<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the \u2018To Do\u2019 column, the team includes all the work items\/tasks needed to be done to create the software feature. Once the team begins the work, the members will move the work items to the \u2018Work in Progress\u2019 column. However, Kanban restricts working on specific items at a given time to ensure the team is not overloaded.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So keeping that in mind, the team has set the work-in-progress limit to two tasks. Therefore, it works on the two tasks, and once it is finished, the team will add those tasks to the \u2018Complete\u2019 or \u2018Done\u2019 column.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is Scrum? meaning, best practices, and example.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Meaning of Scrum<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scrum has structured and well-defined processes and rules that teams must follow. Besides, it has roles like Product Owner (PO), Development Team, and Scrum Master (SM).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are the main pillars of Scrums:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Clarity<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Inspection<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Adaptation<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Scrum framework requires detailed activities, including daily scrums, sprint reviews and planning, and retrospectives. All the tasks are divided into smaller portions that must be completed in a scheduled period (sprints). Furthermore, Scrum discourages adding new tasks in an ongoing sprint.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b><i>Also Read<\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/slash.co\/3-reasons-why-po-should-attend-daily-scrums\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3 Reasons Why PO Should Attend Daily Scrums<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Scrum best practices<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Holding daily scrum meetings<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prioritizing the product backlog<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dividing work into sprints for two weeks<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inspecting work on a daily basis<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adaptation to change<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Example of Scrum<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Considering the same scenario as Kanban\u2019s example, a software company is working on adding a new feature to a product. Currently, the team has a product backlog with all the requirements, bugs, and existing features that need to be resolved.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The team will prioritize the product backlog and plans to start working on the new feature in the upcoming sprint. The team will arrange a meeting and divide the new feature into small segments. Next, they will estimate the required time that each task will take.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the new feature sprint begins, the team will hold daily scrums to collaborate and determine any obstacles. The team will use the scrum board to track the progress. Lastly, the team will deliver the product to the Product Owner. The PO will review the product and give feedback, so the team can start working on the next sprint.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b><i>YouTube Link<\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4Vf4x0RQd74\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4Vf4x0RQd74<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kanban vs Scrum vs Agile<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since Scrum and Kanban are quite the opposite of one another, it still brings questions to several minds.

The person is also responsible for assisting the team during problematic situations and assists continuous improvement by recommending improvement activities.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, Scrum methodology consists of the following roles:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Product Owner: Gives direction to the development team and manages backlog.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scrum Master: Decides the timeline.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Development Team: Work on building solutions within Sprint<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Planning criteria<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kanban encourages continuous planning, which means that all the tasks are decided and executed persistently. In comparison, Scrum is all about iterative planning.

It is a continuous board where the Work in Progress (WIP) limits are implemented at each workflow stage. When the activity is completed, it is shifted to the \u2018Done\u2019 column and a new item is added to the \u2018In Progress\u2019 column from the \u2018To Do\u2019 list.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the Scrum board, the team adds the amount of work into the Scrum backlog. Then, it puts the tasks in the Work in Progress at the end of the Sprint. Once the work is said to be \u2018Done,\u2019 the board is reset for another Sprint.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can find various <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/slash.co\/articles\/all-about-agile-project-management-software-that-you-should-know\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Agile project management software<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to create these boards.
