Vandana Roy writes a most succinct and clear description of Scrum and Kanban in this exceptional article.
Although I was first introduced to OpenAgile in 2013, Scrum and Kanban are relatively new to me this year. While not working in a tech-based department which uses these methods, I am interested in learning as much as possible about each system. I found her explanation and chart very helpful.
Here is a quote and chart she features in the article:
“Both Scrum and Kanban are unique and emphasize on more productivity with quality and efficiency for business. The table below shows advantages of both Scrum and Kanban and the commonality in both is to keep delivering quality product.”

Thanks – that’s a comprehensive overview. As me and my team were about to adopt kanban, after using scrum for over 6 years, we were also using these pages: http://kanbantool.com/kanban-library/scrum-and-kanban to weigh the pros and cons. Love your site!
