Agile Project Management:: Navigating Pros and Cons of Scrum, Kanban and combining them

Scrum and Kanban are Agile project management frameworks that aim to improve team productivity, customer satisfaction, and product quality. Scrum emphasises transparency, flexibility, collaboration, and high-quality product delivery but requires discipline and a skilled Scrum Master to manage the process, may focus too heavily on velocity at the expense of quality, and may not be suitable for all types of projects. Kanban emphasises efficient workflow optimisation, adaptability, reduced lead time, and continuous improvement but can be challenging to manage dependencies and lack a formal role structure, can lead to team overload and burnout if limits are not properly set, and may not be well-suited to all types of projects. Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of both frameworks, and the two combined, is important to choose the one that most appropriately fits the project and team's needs, enabling the delivery of high-quality products that meet customer satisfaction.
