HelpingTeams Get More from Scrum
Scrum
Kanban
Professional
Scrum
Done
Right
Kanban reinforces
Waterfall
We do Kanban
because we can't
plan out for an
entire Sprint
Kanban is Linear
Kanban is all about
manufacturing,
software isn't
manufacturing
Where are the
PEOPLE in Kanban?
Our ScrumTeam
has evolved to
become a
Kanban team
Kanban doesn't
encourage creating
effective teams
Scrum is
revolutionary;
Kanban is
evolutionary
Scrum is for
complex work,
Kanban is for
simple work
Scrum is for
product teams;
Kanban is for
service teams
You can only
get so far with
evolutionary
change
5
Truth or Myth?
6
Kanban in the Scrum Context
• Like the Scrum Guide; a simple set of rules to help
ScrumTeams get the maximum benefit from
Kanban practices.

Kanban in a Scrum Context – Core Practices
AND REDUCING!
Changes you can try in your Scrum teams
13
Use a Kanban Board as your Sprint Backlog
14
• Backlog item types
• Workflow
• Visualization policies
• WIP limits
• Pull/prioritization policies
• Service Level Expectations (SLE’s)
• Definition of “Done”
15
Go beyond “Definition of Done” to “Definition of Workflow”
Flow-based Sprint Planning
• You don’t need to plan out the entire Sprint
• You can begin unplanned work part way through the Sprint
(Leverage the Sprint Goal)
• Work can flow across Sprint boundaries
• Use throughput rather than story points/velocity
16
17
Planning based onThroughput
• Work the board right to left
(Flow/Pull mode)
• What happened to me yesterday?
• What is going to happen to me
today?
• Is there any impediment to my flow?
18
Daily Scrum - Focus on the flow of work –Tell the story from the PBI’s
perspective
So yesterday…
And Today…
Right-to-Left Daily Scrum Flow

Flow-Based Sprint Retrospective

• Adds a more quantifiable metrics aspect to the typical
qualitative Sprint Retrospective
» CycleTimes Scatterplot
» Cumulative Flow Diagram
» Blocked work and reasons
» Flow efficiency
» And many more…
• Review performance and compare to Service Level
Expectations (SLEs)
