Agile SCRUM vs KANBAN | Comparison | Process Overview | Which is good for project
Though both SCRUM and KANBAN are agile methodologies, which focuses on delivery of continuous value to the customer, what are the similarities and differences between them. Which methodology best suits for my project? I believe as an agile project manager you may have also come across the same question. Based on my experience and some brain storming, Here my thoughts about them. Please let me know your inputs through the comments.
Before heading to the comparison, I feel It is worth to recall the fundamental process of SCRUM and KANBAN.
SCRUM Overview
KANBAN Overview
With the fundamental understanding of scrum and kanban methodologies, now we can move to the comparison of these agile methodologies.
Though both of these encourages work to be broken down into manageable chunks and place a high value on continual improvement, the primary difference
is scrum is time boxed where it limits the amount of time allowed to accomplish a particular amount of work (by means of sprints).
Whereas in other hand KANBAN is not time boxed but limits the amount of work allowed at a given point of time. That is only a predefined number of tasks are allowed in work in progress stage.
Secondly in terms of roles, SCRUM recommends at least three roles that must be assigned in order to effectively process the work: the Product Owner, Scrum Master, and Team Members and Each role has its own set of responsibilities and cross functional , and they must work together to achieve an orderly and efficient balance.
On contrary, in KANBAN no predefined roles are prescribed but evolved based on project and organization needs. The team not necessarily need to be cross functional since it is intended to be used by any and all teams involved in the project.
Thirdly when it comes to the workflow,Though SCRUM is flexible to changes, it is slightly rigid on the sprint workflow where once the story points are committed into the sprint backlog, it can not be
changed until the end of the sprint.
After the retrospective meeting,only at the end of scrum, the story board is cleared and new story points will fill the board at the beginning on next sprint.
On other hand, in Kanban workflow, each column has a limited number of allowed stories and there are no requisition for time boxes and there is no reason to reset the Kanban board as work progresses and it will continue as long as the project continues.
Fourthly, when it comes to the duration of the project, In scrum the project schedule is estimated in terms of the number of sprints and each sprint varies from 2 weeks to 1 month.
Since the KANBAN is not time bound, it doesn't prescribe any specific estimation methodlogy but we can find the velocity by dividing the number of story point completed at a given point of time.
Nextly, in terms of the deliverables, in SCRUM at the end of the sprint the work is delivered in batch where as in KANBAN work is delivered at each time the story point is completed.
In terms of change management, though SCRUM is providing good amount of flexibility for changes, once the sprint is committed, no changes can be made to the sprint until it finishes. But kanban is still more flexible than scrum, and changes can be introduced on the go. So far we have seen the key similarities and the differences between these two. Both scrum and kanban are part of agile methodologies and looks promising. But which one is suitable for my project? Here my thoughts based on my experience and observation. if you expect unpredictable workloads over the time,
and don’t have a clear picture of the tasks upfront, with frequent changes in project scope and focus, then, Kanban can be more helpful.
But on the other hand, if you already have a well defined feature list with a clear timeline then scrum would be a good fit.
