Kanban – Scrum – Scrumban How do they Relate and What is Kanban… Really?

The funny part here is that we have made it all much more complicated (or even chaotic) than it needs to be!  In this session, we will break Scrum down into the basics elements that it is, then look at what Kanban really is by looking at its history and principles. We will likely have you do a bit of pre-reading for this one!  We then compare kanban to scrum and event to scrumban – and ideally… you will leave having the clearest and simplest understanding of scrum and kanban that you have ever had – even if you fully understand them both!  Or. . . at least that is the goal! But you tell us. Please read the article on the history of kanban and lean in advance and think about what you think the common theme was in the earlier days of Toyoda and Toyota (bring that to the session!). It is not ‘required’ but will make it a bit easier to dive into the details if you do.
