Deep dives
Dispelling the Kanban Myth
Kanban is often misunderstood as being suitable only for mature agile teams, a notion that contrasts with its actual implementation. The podcast highlights that this myth likely stems from a skewed perception where Scrum is promoted over Kanban due to a greater number of Scrum advocates. Listeners are informed that both methods require limiting work in progress; hence, the argument for Kanban being only for advanced teams lacks consistency. This inconsistency illustrates the necessity for clearer communication and understanding of Kanban's benefits for teams at any stage of agility.
