Insights

Scrum:Methodology: Scrum is an Agile framework that emphasizes delivering high-quality products in short cycles called sprints.

Roles: Scrum involves three key roles:Product Owner: Defines the product backlog—a prioritized list of features or tasks.
Scrum Master: Facilitates the process and ensures adherence to Scrum rules.
Development Team: Delivers a potentially releasable product increment at the end of each sprint.
Time-Boxed Sprints: Scrum uses fixed-length sprints (usually two to four weeks) during which the Development Team works on tasks from the product backlog.
Ceremonies: Scrum includes daily stand-up meetings, sprint review meetings (to demonstrate completed work), and sprint retrospective meetings (to reflect on the sprint and identify improvements).

Kanban:Methodology: Kanban is a Lean methodology focused on visualizing work, reducing waste, and optimizing flow.
Kanban Board: The heart of Kanban is the visual representation of work on a Kanban board. It has columns like “To Do,” “In Progress,” and “Done.”
Continuous Delivery: Unlike Scrum’s time-boxed sprints, Kanban allows for continuous delivery of work items as they become ready.
Work in Progress (WIP): Kanban emphasizes limiting WIP to optimize flow. Metrics like lead time and cycle time help measure performance.

Scrum vs. Kanban:
Approach:Scrum: Prescriptive methodology with clear roles, rules, and ceremonies. Suited for projects with defined requirements and a clear end goal.
Kanban: Flexible methodology allowing continuous delivery. Suited for projects with changing requirements and a focus on flow.

Team Suitability:Scrum: Best for teams requiring structure and guidance.
Kanban: Ideal for teams needing flexibility and autonomy.
