Agile Rhode Island - Scrum, Kanban, and DevOps Sitting in a Tree: Leverage Kanban and DevOps to improve Scrum

Providence, RI
United States
December 17, 2019

Should you use Scrum, Kanban, or DevOps? You don’t have to choose: Scrum teams improve when they look at flows inside and outside their Sprints from a Lean/Kanban perspective. In this session we will talk about Kanban-related myths prevalent in the Scrum world and identify common ground between them. We will look at ways to bring Kanban flow into your Scrum: the Kanban-based Sprint/Product Backlog, flow-based daily Scrum, visualizing aging work, and flow-based Sprint Planning .We will describe ways to wrap Scrum with a Kanban flow system, and at the higher-level picture of a DevOps culture and process.

You’ll leave with a better understanding of how Scrum, Kanban, and DevOps relate to each other and with ideas for experiments to try when back at work.
