another
place for questions
*Summary: *Kanban is becoming a popular buzzword in software development.
Some teams are looking at starting with a Kanban process as a stepping
stone toward Scrum, while others are considering switching from Scrum to
Kanban. Meanwhile, the author of "The Kanban Method" claims that "Kanban
is
NOT a software development lifecycle or project management methodology!"
This talk will attempt to clarify what Kanban is (and is not), how it
compares to Scrum, and why a team might choose to use it.
*About the speaker: *Kevin has been practicing agile software development
for over 15 years. He joined the WMF as an Agile Coach in March 2015.
